Dear Parents,
We have had another
exciting and fun week of learning in the yellow starfish classroom! We celebrated Savanna’s 5th
birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAVANNA!) visited with the AMAZING author and
illustrator Todd Parr, and continued with nursery rhymes.
The cuties wanted me to
give you this link to One Direction singing about the letter U. (They love their beautiful song, so of course
they love this one!) You can also just type in Sesame Street letter U into
Youtube. J
Here are some things that
happened this week. We…
*learned the sound, hand
motion and letter formation for the letter Uu.
*added umbrellas to our feely letter Uu.
*brainstormed words that
began with Uu and added them to our alphabet journals.
*moved little umbrellas up
and down to practice the sound.
*we started learning about
Chinese New Year and made red/gold lanterns for good luck (2 each! J)
*continued with our Nursery
Rhymes, which included Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Hickory Dickory Dock, The
Muffin Man, Humpty Dumpty and many more. J
*painted a picture of
cherry blossoms
*practiced our Nursery
Rhymes and acted them out
*had fun in our new outside
centers with water and sand!
*explored shells, magnets,
rice, and some 3D shapes (rectangular prisms and cylinders) just for fun.
*had an AMAZING time with
Todd Parr—he read many of his books to us (the favorite of course was his
“UNDERWEAR” book! He showed us how he draws his illustrations, and then we got
a chance to try ourselves!!!! An
absolutely wonderful author visit!
*made pattern necklaces
*used ABC stickers to try
and spell out simple words for fun
*we also had some good
quality time with Mango and Jelly J
