Oceans

This week our theme was “Oceans”.  We made a scuba diver, octopus & jellyfish.  We continued to work on placing the numbers 1-10 in order, rhyming, colors & shapes.  We also worked to retest any necessary skills before the end of the school year.

 

Next week our theme will continue to be “Oceans”.  We will make a starfish, ocean photo album, giant fish book and a classroom book about our favorite ocean animal.  We will continue to work on sorting, letter/sound recognition, number identification, 1:1 correspondence when counting and hand eye coordination.  The children will also have a substitute teacher in the classroom on Monday & Tuesday, as I will be proctoring the PALS test to each student.

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 number 10.  We have learned about each letter and sound in the alphabet so please be sure to practice any that your child may still struggle to identify.    

Next week our theme will be ‘Oceans’.  We will make a scuba diver, submarine porthole, octopus and a jellyfish.  We will continue to practice placing the numbers 1-10 in numerical order and will review shapes, colors, patterns, identifying the letters in our names & rhyming.
