Dear Parents,
What a week!!!!!!! LEMONADE! LEMONADE! LEMONADE!!!! Thank you so much for your contributions of
lemons and money towards Caring for Cambodia.
Our class and Ms. Peggy’s class raised 200 dollars to put towards their
Food For Thought program which gives breakfast and lunch to children who don’t
have it.
Here are some of our
activities this week. We…
*reviewed the letters and
sounds that we have learned so far this year.
*continued with reading
many versions of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and talked about sizes: small,
medium, large.
*cut out pictures of bowls
of porridge, chairs and beds and put them into the right size categories.
*practiced writing our
numbers and made a 5 Little Bears book
*acted out The Three Little
Pigs and Goldilocks and the Three Bears in our dramatic play centers in the
ECC.
*cut out and put together a
teddy bear puzzle.
*used teddy bear counters
to count and pattern
*SQUEEZED A LOT OF
LEMONS!!!!!!!!
*mixed sugar and water and
made our lemonade!
*came up with ideas, a plan
and the materials that we would need for a lemonade sale. The cuties were very good at coming up with
things like ice to keep the lemonade cool and spoons to mix it!
*made signs to advertise
our lemonade sale
*practiced in our dramatic
play area how to sell lemonade. There was a lot of “Come buy some lemonade! 50
cents a glass! It is for Caring for Cambodia” and “Would you like some
lemonade? 50 cents please!” heard in our classroom! And they put their practice to good use at
the sale!
*made headbands to help us
advertise our lemonade.
*played and built with
magna tiles (always a favorite), playdoh,
sensory beads and beads to string.
*were introduced to the
fairy tale The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
*I forgot to mention that
last week we celebrated Amber’s 5th birthday! Happy Birthday Amber!
