Dear Parents,

100 DAYS OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!  Who else can’t believe we have been in school for 100 days already!!!!!  Many of our activities this week centered around 100 day.  We also started our Fairy Tales unit.  It was another great week!!!! J

Here are some things that happened this week. We…

*learned the name, sound, and formation for the letter Ff.

*brainstormed/ listed/cut out words that begin with Ff and wrote them in our alphabet journals.

*added feathers to our feely letter Ff.  Please remember to add this to your feely letter ring and review all of the letters.

*learned the song Five Little Speckled Frogs and made a book based on the song to practice taking one away.

*played with pretend frogs in the sensory table along with our moon sand.

*caught numbered frogs in the water table and ordered them 1 – 20

*painted with feathers. 

*used magnetic fishing poles to catch the letters that the words on our mat started with.

*enjoyed “Fun Friday” on the playground.

*had our February guidance lesson with Mr. Pearson.  Last time we talked about responsibility (big word!) This week we talked about respect.

*Read many different versions of The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf.  We will continue with this fairy tale next week. Ask your cutie what a book should have to be a fairy tale J  (Once upon a time, a good guy/bad guy and happily ever after (or a happy ending of some sort.))

*Painted what we thought we would look like when we are 100 years old.

*Went on a number hunt.

*Measured our feet with cubes after reading “How Big is  a Foot?” about a king making a bed for a queen.

*Practiced writing our numbers to 10

*Counted out 10 of each treat for our 100 day snack using our 100 board.

*Had a visit from ZERO THE HERO and did 100 exercises!

*counted 100 m&m’s for our 100 day cake.
