Dear Parents,
Our week revolved around BEARS and the fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears!  Thank you for having your cuties ready with bears on Thursday and pajamas today!  They were absolutely adorable!!!!! Here are some of the activities this week.  We…
*learned the sound, letter formation and hand motion for the letter Bb.
*wrote Bb words, drew Bb pictures and cut out Bb pictures in our journals.
*added beads to our feely letter Bb.  Please add it to your ring and have your child review all of the letters.
*read and compared lots of different versions of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  Can your child retell the story?
*were treated to a play (acted out by the pre-k teachers) of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
*made Three Bear’s porridge and ate it up! We did a lot of measuring!
*practiced pouring and ladling porridge into small medium and large bowls at the sensory table.
*cut out and decorated, “dancing bears” and used them as we sang Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear Turn Around.
*sang Three Brown Bears, The Bear Went Over the Mountain, Going on a Bear Hunt and Teddy Bear’s Picnic.
*measured and compared the heights of our bears (and ourselves!)
*went on a “bear hunt.”
*Counted and then graphed gummy bears (then ate them of course!)
*enjoyed a teddy bear’s picnic in the ABC Hall.

PAJAMA DAY
We had so much fun dressed in pajamas!  We spent the day reading lots of books about bears, doing fun bear activities and singing bear songs and we even had a “teddy bear picnic” for lunch!.  Please have your child tell you about it.

BEAR’S NIGHT OUT
On Thursday evening, while the school was quiet, our sleeping teddy bears came to life and got into all kinds of mischief in the ECC!  They were caught on camera by the school security, who then shared the pictures with us J.  Look in your child’s zippy pouch to see what his/her bear was up to.  Please have your child “read” the page to you.
