Birthdays!
This week we had a really fun time celebrating both Una and Cleo’s birthdays! Thank you for joining in and helping add joy and excitement to these birthdays!
Also- happy birthday to Chase’s brother Grayson and to Una’s Daddy - DJ! So many birthdays this month.
Jungle
We continued to explore the jungle this week, covering the animals: Zebra, tree frog, crocodile, toucan and giraffe. It was really fun to see how everyone made their animals using different materials and tools. Great work!
There were some really engaging math, science and literacy projects to work on that reinforced the habitat and habits of the animals. I hope you were able to work on a few of them this week.
Next week we will start talking about the Arctic and animals that live in a polar environment.
Shapes
In addition to the jungle, we have also been focusing part of our morning meeting and activities on shapes. We took a closer look at: Squares, Triangles, Ovals, Rectangles and Hexagons. Shapes are literally everywhere and it’s great when your child can start pointing them out and recognizing shapes in our natural environment. We will keep talking about more shapes next week!
Literacy
Eudenis and I have noticed just how much your children love books and stories! Here are some of the books we’ve read this week during our morning and afternoon times:
Knuffle Bunny & Knuffle Bunny Too - By: Mo Willems
The Parrot Tico Tango By: Anna Witte
Spot Bakes a Cake & Spot’s Birthday Party By: Eric Hill (the kids seem to love ALL of the spot books)
The Beeman By: Laurie Krebs
