Week Ending March 2, 2018

I can't believe it is March already!!!!  I hope the weather stays warm and we can get outside to explore nature and really enjoy the fresh air!!
Monday-We reviewed the letter E with the E Book, finished our Leprechaun hats for Read and Romp, and learned about the parts of a book(front, back, spine, words, pictures, author, illustrator, etc).  We discussed that we can read a book just by looking at pictures and telling a story before we know how to read.  The kiddos practiced "reading" to each other. 
Wednesday-We had a special morning at the Pike's Peak Inflatable with an extra P.E. time.  That was so much fun!!!  We reviewed the letter F with the F Book and One Fish-Two Fish-Red Fish-Blue Fish, made fish bowls, talked about rhyming words, and introduced graphs and sorting for math.
Friday-We reviewed the Letter G, read the G Book and Green Eggs and Ham, made a Green Eggs and Ham Art Project, Dr. Seuss hats, and played a game with boys vs. girls.   The girls won by one point.  The kids did a great job for pictures!!!
Next week we will be learning about the letter 0.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Wednesday -We talked about the Life Cycle of a Butterfly, read our letter Q book, and read The Very Hungry Caterpillar .  We made butterflies and used our fine-motor skills to dab, squeeze, scrunch, and pinch our paper butterfly. Friday -We finished up the Life Cycle of a Butterfly with sequencing-first, second, third, last.  We made bird nests, read   The Best Nest , talked about birds and their life cycle.

Your kids are growing so quickly!  What a blessing it is to see them engaged and learning! Monday-we learned about the letter C, read our C book and If You Give a Cat a Cupcake .  We made leprechaun hats for our Read and Romp banner and learned about opposites with our  stuffed cat. We also worked on letter formation with dry erase boards so we can erase and try  over and over again. Wednesday-we traced our heart sheet, practiced writing our names,  had a cookie shop where we served pretend cookies and cinnamon rolls to learn  about our hard c and soft c letter sounds, and practiced our numbers with paint and our fingers. Have a wonderful weekend! Initially our sheet says we will review the letters from this month but since the children know them so well,  we will review previous letters taught before January. We will review the letters E(Monday), F(Wednesday) and G(Friday). Should be fun to find your letter for  show and tell based on your day. ;)
