Week of May 9th

This week our theme continued to be ‘Oceans’.  We made a starfish using Cheerios and an ocean photo album, which was made by ‘scuba diving’ with a friend around the classroom!  We also created a giant fish book and a classroom book about our favorite ocean animal.  We continued to work on fine motor skills as the children used beads to create their very own bracelet.  We also reviewed letters and numbers this week.

Next week our theme will be the ‘Farm’.  We will be tearing paper to make a cow, using beans to make a barn and drawing pictures to create My Silly Animal Book.  On Monday and Tuesday we will be taking a field trip to the farm.  We will split into smaller groups and tour the farm with high school FFA students who will teach us all about the life of a farmer!  Please remember to wear old clothes and dress for the weather, as we will be outside for most of the morning.

*Please remember that Thursday is an Early Release day so send a note if your child needs to go somewhere other then their normal drop off point.
