Life is busy for the 4’s and 5’s! If your child came home recently talking about the ear and how sound travels, you can thank Val Dashiell. She takes sophisticated concepts in science and makes them meaningful to the kids. Watch for her write-ups to come home every other Tuesday.
Miss Laurie made applesauce with the kids this week! The children had fun cutting the apples, squeezing lemons, and sprinkling the cinnamon sugar. The result was delicious!
Miss Kari came again on Thursday for a Spanish Circle Time. The children are very attentive to Kari and enjoy her songs and games.
The classes did not do Centers this past Thursday. We took advantage of what may be the last beautiful day in a while and played outside for a long time!! On the previous Thursday, the Centers were the following:
· A worksheet asking the kids to draw 1 (uno) pumpkin all the way to 4 (cuatro) pumpkins. Most kids loved this activity and spent a lot of time on their pumpkins!
· Practice writing names using capital and lower case letters.
· Alphabet Bingo stressing letter sound association.
We have been learning about the different life stages of the honeybee, and dancing “bee-style” in the figure 8. Ask your child to show you how a bee tells the other bees where the flowers are!
