Nursery Rhymes



This week our theme was ‘Nursery Rhymes & Rhyming’.  We learned about rhyming words and played a lot of rhyming games (keep practicing at home too)!  The children also made a picture of Humpty Dumpty & created a garden for Mary Mary Quite Contrary.  Our letter for the week was Nn.
Next week our theme will be ‘Dr. Seuss & Rhyming’.  We will continue to work with rhyming words as we read Dr. Seuss books.  The children will make the Cat in the Hat, paint a One-Fish Two-Fish fish bowl, make Cat hats and play a variety of rhyming games.  Our letter for the week will be Rr.

Valentine's Day


This week our theme was ‘Valentine’s Day’.  We made several items out of hearts including a butterfly, a ladybug and a panda bear!  The children continued to work on number identification, matching, graphing and patterns. Our letter for the week was Vv and we all had a wonderful time opening our Valentine’s Day cards!

 Next week our theme will be ‘Nursery Rhymes & Rhyming’.  We will learn about rhyming words and play a lot of rhyming games (it would be good to practice rhyming at home over the weekend as well).  The children will hear a variety of nursery rhymes and make a picture of Humpty Dumpty and create a garden for Mary Mary Quite Contrary!  Our letter for the week will be Nn.
