This Week:
•We celebrated Dr. Seuss all week long with a variety of activities ranging from cooking Green Eggs and Ham, dot to dots, making Dr. Seuss hats, creating our own “One Fish Two Fish” books and learning about word families like the _at family. The highlight for the kids was our great turnout of Guest Readers, thank you to all parents who made time to come and read us a story!
•Wednesday March 3rd was Hina Matsuri, Japanese Girls Day – we talked about the doll festival traditions and created an origami artwork to celebrate.
•We introduced teen numbers, these are a difficult concept for Kinders to grasp, even if they are able to identify them.
•We continued our work in pattern books, adding illustrations and a “surprise ending” to our Fruits book. Students also chose another topic to make a list and began creating another pattern book. Once we have created several, students will begin bringing these home to share in their book bags as well.
•Congratulations to Chris, who represented our class this weekend at the Young Author’s Fair, sharing our story “100 Things to Eat”!
Next Week:
We will be discussing Dental Health
In Writer’s Workshop, we will continue working on pattern books – using editing strategies and descriptive language to make them better?
We will continue studying teen numbers, learning about how they are made up (ten and ones)
We will be studying the weather, learning about the saying “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb”
We will continue practicing our concert songs, encourage your child to sing you some of their songs.
