It has been another wonderful
week of learning! We have had a special visitor, reconnected with Mango and
Jelly, were cloud watching and continued concentrating on letters and numbers
in our environment.
Our explorations and activities included…
*Daniel’s mom came in and
created sand art with us! The kiddos had so much fun doing it, and created beautiful
colored sand layers in a jar they took home.
*Our mark making area has
continued to be popular! Thank you so
much for sending in envelopes, paper, stickers….I found many of my childhood
things I collected to add to this area, and it has been fun shopping! If you have envelopes especially to send in,
these are a favorite!!!
*We continued exploring clouds,
and went out with clipboards, as well as using many different materials to
recreate our cloud observations. See the
blog for more details on our cloud explorations. (It is in 2 parts)
*Many of you sent in recycled
materials to add to our maker-space—the cuties were so into this as
well!!! We had binoculars, bird feeders,
pencil holders….you name it! All being
created with recycled materials!
*We made our March calendar
*We practiced a lot with our
letters and numbers this week, and will continue with this. When you see
numbers, letters and words in the environment around you, be sure to point them
out to your child.
*We reconnected with Mango and
Jelly! We cuddled them, fed them, brushed
them, drew pictures for them, wrote letters to them and told them how special
they are to us! This related very well
to our talks about kindness and respect.
As a class we have really been working on being “bucket fillers” and
being kind to our friends, bringing our yelling voices down to quiet friendly
voices, and respecting people, animals and our environment. Let your child tell
you about our kindness candle time, and be sure to take a quick moment to
praise your cutie when they are being kind. J
