Week of 3-21-11

This week our theme was ‘Spring & Seeds’.  We began to learn about spring with the children making tissue paper flowers and learning how plants grow.  We also used finger paint to create spring flowers and use foam paint to make a dark rain cloud.  The children reviewed rhyme by creating a page for our classroom book called ‘Rhyme Time’.  Our letter for the week was Uu and we reviewed the numbers 3 & 4.  There is no Pre-K class on Thursday due to Child Development Days.

Next week our theme will be ‘Pets’.  (We have another short week due to Inservice).  We will discuss how to take care of our pets and what kinds of animals people keep as pets.  On Monday the children will be making a dog and painting a fish.  On Tuesday and Wednesday our classes will be taking a field trip to the Medford Veterinarian Clinic.  When we return we will make a pattern snake and learning how our pets grow.  Our letter for the week will be Uu and we will review the number 5.
