The past two weeks have been
jam-packed with fun! The cuties did really well with our crazy schedules
and had an amazing USA Day and UN DAY! I am sure they went home exhausted
but happy today! J This week and last we…
*learned the sound, letter
formation, and motion for the letter Tt.
*added triangles to our
feely letter Tt.
*cut out pictures of Tt.
*Made T patterns with pattern
blocks
*read fiction and nonfiction
books about teeth and practiced brushing teeth with Mr. Mouth (a big model of a
mouth.)
*”painted” and brushed teeth
pictures/cut outs (with a mixture of white paint and toothpaste) using a
toothbrush. We are also making a book about what’s good and bad for your teeth.
*learned the song Little Tommy’s
Toothbrush and added to our Poems and Songs Folder. We also made a paper
toothbrush to go with the song. You can hang your child’s toothbrush and
song on their bathroom mirror to remind him/her to brush his teeth. Have your
cutie sing the song with you (although I warn you that it may be stuck in your
head for days!!!!)
*celebrated USA Day by having
s’mores around the campfire, dancing and pretending to go camping, painted
pictures of the American flag, and going on a hunt around the school to find
the symbol of the USA (the bald eagle.)
*read books about Singapore,
wrote about it in our journals, and made our own flag.
*went to the HS gym for a
Primary School UN Day celebration—it was beautiful!
*Had our second guidance lesson
with Mr. Pearson—we talked about feelings.
*Played in the sensory table
with “moon sand.” It is a substance
somewhere between sand and playdoh—the cuties LOVED IT!!!
NEXT WEEK
Next week we will learn about
the letter Ii. The children will be doing an activity about their initials.
Please help your child learn his/her first and last initial. We will
continue learning about our home countries, and continue to talk about families
as we look at all of our family banners.
