We had a great week last week! Thanks to everyone who donated snacks or supplies for our Valentine's Day celebration. The kids enjoyed passing out cards and playing some fun games and eating delicious treats.
In reading and writing last week we focused on feelings. We read books about feeling happy, sad and angry, and then wrote about a time when we experienced those feelings. The children are really growing in their abilities to write sentences with word wall words. We are working on making sure to include spaces between words, check the word wall for correct spelling, and using uppercase and lowercase letters correctly. We also make sure to end each sentence with a period. I have a nice big bundle of your child's writing from the past quarter that will come home Friday. You'll be amazed at all we have done!
In math we learned about plane shapes for two weeks, and we increased our vocabulary of different shapes including square, rectangle, circle, oval, trapezoid, rhombus, and triangle. We identified attributes of these shapes and compared them. We played a fun game with pattern blocks called Fill the Hexagons and explored a lot of math materials to try to combine and build shapes. Continue our exploration at home and in the community by pointing out shapes and their attributes all around you! We're moving on to 3D shapes next! Each child can bring in an object to represent the 3D shapes next week. See the flyer in your child's folder for more information on what to bring each day.
It's almost time for us to bid farewell to our beetles, and we are studying animals will amazing external features like tails, feet, tongues, and more!
