Weekend News
Every Monday (or the day we come back from a long weekend) our 3A friends share what they did over the weekend. Barak got a haircut as he was sitting in a yellow car, Luca went to see a show (The Nutcracker) but he was upset he couldn’t dance with the performers on stage, while Francesca had visitors at her house. The children share the weekend news in their own words with their own perspectives.
Sign-In
The 3A friends began to sign in their names every morning as one of their routines. The children not only started to recognize all the letters in their first name, but they also started to recognize the same letters that other friends had in their names too. This activity will enhance their ability to recognize and write all the letters in their first name.
3A Holiday Tree
As many of our favorite holidays are approaching, the 3A friends decided to create a holiday tree together. First we voted on the shape and color of the tree. Then we taped boxes together to make a tree shape. Next we painted it with red paint as it was the color 3A chose for our holiday tree! Last, we put lots of decorations on by putting beads on pipe cleaners. Our friends helped each other out on making our tree the one and only tree!
Specialists
This week we had Spanish with Ernestina on Tuesday and learned the names of winter clothing! Chaqueta is jacket, Bufanda is a scarf, Gorro is a hat, and Botas are boots! On Wednesday, we had Cooking with Diane. The 3A children mixed Cheerios, coconut powder, and raisins together by taking turns and waiting patiently. When we tasted the mix, it was our favorite snack! For Soccer with Coach C, children learned to dribble, kick, and shoot a soccer ball! On Friday, we had Music with Mr. Andrew. Mr. Andrew sang a song of the book called Gruffalo and everyone listened to the story song and followed along!
