Week of 4-26-11

This week our theme was ‘Transportation’.  We worked on classification, sorting, identifying the letters in our name, colors and using a glue bottle correctly.  The children made a traffic light and learned what each colored light meant.  We also sorted transportation pictures, placed them on a graph and discussed the results.  On Tuesday and Wednesday we took a field trip to the Taylor County Highway Department and got to explore the big equipment that they have!   We had a short week with no school on Monday & an Early Release day on Thursday.

Next week our theme will be ‘Oceans’.  We will be making a scuba diver, jelly fish and placing fish (1-10) in order correctly.  During the week we will also be doing some testing/retesting before the end of the school year.  Please continue to work with your child on any skills they may still struggle with.  On Wednesday & Thursday the Taylor County Health Dept will be back for our final round of fluoride varnishes.  We will also have a special visit from some high school FFA students who will be helping us complete a project for Mother’s Day!
