Week Of 2-21-11

    This week our theme was ‘Nursery Rhymes & Rhyming’.  We learned about rhyming words and played a lot of rhyming games (keep practicing at home too)!  The children also made a picture of Humpty Dumpty & created a garden for Mary Mary Quite Contrary.  Our letter for the week was Nn.
    We also welcomed a new student into our Tues/Thurs group and have a student teacher working in our classroom during the week.  Her name is Mrs. Rachel and she is hoping to enter into education when she finishes her schooling.  We hope she enjoys her time with us and learns a lot!  :)
