Friday Update Sept 23

Thank you for a great week with your kiddos!  We celebrated two new 5 years olds -HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUDREY AND LACHLAN!!!!!

This week some of our learning included…

*continuing on our Mango and Oreo Cookie Castle/Race Track/Maze.

*using clay and beads for interesting creations!

*telling stories through colored modeling clay

*continuing with our Eric Carle inspired art work

*playing color and shape Bingo (this was a HUGE hit!)

*exploring 2D and 3D shapes,

*playing with light and shadow

*looking at how many different ways we can make numbers, both small and large (sticks, blocks, manipulatives, writing them, dominos, etc.)

*practicing writing our names, and looking at the letters and sounds in them. Also writing small story books (and knowing that drawing a labeling is a good way to start our writing.  We can also write words if we want to!)

*reading a lot of new books borrowed from the big library! A favorite “Moo!”—Ask your child about this one!  The only word in the book is Moo, but a whole story is told! Love it!

*..and much, much more!
