Dear Parents,
A NOTE ABOUT CONFERENCES: If you haven’t signed up for
your child’s conference, they are closing the site today, so please go and do
that.
We had another fun week of
learning! J We continued with our unit on fairytales and
added Jack and the Beanstalk, The Little Red Hen, The Three Little Kittens to
our repertoire. The students are doing
an amazing job in our dramatic play area with the costumes as well as with
puppets and props of retelling the fairy tales.
We also…
*made patterns using the
characters of Three Little Pigs.
*learned the letter, sound
and hand motion for Jj.
*added jewels to our feely
letter Jj.
*drew pictures of words
that start with Jj in our alphabet journals, and cut out Jj words.
*learned the song John
Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt and added it to our Poems and Songs folders.
*made 3 flavors of jiggly
Jello and mixed them in our bowls like rainbows and ate the jello!
*practiced identifying and
counting numbers through 20 while playing Jellybean Bingo.
*read several versions of
Jack and the Beanstalk.
*observed the inside of a
bean.
*reviewed ordinal numbers
and learned the steps to draw a bunny.
*made Jack climbing a curvy
beanstalk to practice our cutting skills.
*painted rainbows
*learned all about St.
Patrick’s Day (on Monday) and about those tricky little leprechauns!
*read St. Patrick’s Day
Stories
