Dear Parents,
We started our Fairy Tale
unit this week with The Three Little Pigs, continued with our love of Todd
Parr, and started Chinese New Year and 100 Day activities.
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
Green and 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.
*made our own books! There
was paper, crayons/markers and staplers set out and this was completely
optional. Our cuties RAN to this table
to make a book! Look for them in their bags (many of them have my writing
inside as each cutie told me their story) and the kiddos shared some of them
with Ms. Jo during library as well.
*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 and
started making 100 day headbands.
*Measured our feet with cubes
after reading “How Big is a Foot?” about a king making a bed for a queen.
*finished our Chinese New
Year lanterns, cherry blossoms, and dragon puppets.
WOW WE WERE BUSY!!!!! J

learning the letter Ll and concentrate on getting our lemonade stand ready, as
