Friday Update Week 6 Sept 15 to 19

Reminder:  Next week the students only have school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  THERE IS NO SCHOOL next Thursday and Friday because of Faculty Inservice Days.

We have had a fun and busy week!!!! J This week we… 
*learned the sound, letter formation, and motion for the letter Tt.
*added triangles to our feely letter Tt.
*cut out pictures of or drew things that start with 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!!!!)
*played in the sensory table with “bubber,” and revisited slime! We had some kiddos asking everyday about that slime, so it made a comeback!!!! 
*read Mr. Tiger Goes Wild, Alligator Baby, Elmer (as a review of colors and we talked about how each of us is special,) and many many more!
*visited Mr. Starker in the Middle School Library where he read Tiger Who Came to Tea, and we visited his tiger room and had a chance to bang on his big drum!
*played in the block room and made a structure of Singapore!  Lot of hands on this one!
*played with Tubes!
*finished up some A activities from last week.
