Pets Week



This week our theme was ‘Pets’.  We discussed how to take care of our pets and on Wednesday & Thursday our classes took a field trip to the Medford Veterinarian Clinic.  We also made a fish, a pattern snake and learned about how pets grow.  Our letter for the week was Zz and we reviewed the numbers 9 & 10.

Next week our theme will be the ‘Zoo’.  We will be learning about a variety of zoo animals and the children will be making a giraffe, monkey and a zebra.  The children will also create a classroom book about what animals they might see at the zoo.  We will work on putting the numbers 1-10 in order and will use our sense of hearing to play an animal sounds game.  We have completed our review of letters and numbers so if you notice your child still struggling with these skills it would be a very good idea to continue practicing at home over the summer.
