Spring Flowers & Seeds

This week our theme was “Spring Flowers & Seeds”.  We learned about spring and the children made tissue paper flowers and used finger paint to create spring flowers.  We learned about how a seed grows into a plant and what a plant needs to live.  Our letter for the week was Uu and we reviewed the numbers 5 & 6.  Please practice number recognition with your child at home if they are still struggling to identify the numbers when shown in random order.

Next week our theme will be ‘Pets’.  (We have no school on Monday due to Inservice).  We will discuss how animals grow, how to take care of our pets and what kinds of animal’s people keep as pets.  We will be making a pattern snake and painting a fish.  On Wednesday and Thursday our classes will be taking a field trip to the Medford Veterinarian Clinic.  Our letter for the week will be Xx and we will review the numbers 7 & 8.
