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.

Week of April 2nd

This week our theme was ‘Spring & Easter’. The children made bunny headbands, a chick hatching from an egg and journaled about their Easter basket.  We practiced placing the numbers 1-10 in order, reviewed the numbers 7 & 8 and learned about the letter Ee.  Report cards also came home this week…please understand that I was not here to complete all of the assessments for this semester and you child’s report card will only show what was tested/retested.

Next week our theme will be ‘Pets’.  (We have no school on Monday due to Easter break).  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 Zz and we will review the numbers 9 & 10.
