Recap of the Week
This week we focused on the letter P. We glued a penguin to the cover of our letter book and completed four pages. The rest was sent home for homework. We enjoyed wearing pajamas to school on Thursday and making pancakes from scratch. The children enjoyed helping to add the ingredients. We read about good dental hygiene in our Scholastic weekly reader. We made a mouth full of teeth. The children cut an oval from pink construction paper for the mouth and then added a tongue and marshmallows for teeth. In Religion we talked about the sacrament of Baptism. Thank you to all those who already sent back their baptismal certificate.
I started assessing the children this week for progress reports. They should come home next week. Please look over it, sign the back and return. Thank you!
These are a few pictures from the past couple weeks:
This Coming Week
This coming week we'll be focusing on the letter B. The children will complete a couple pages in their letter book and the rest will be sent home for homework. Please send in words or pictures beginning with the letter B for the back of our chart. In Religion we'll talk about the church season of Lent and how it's a time to grow in our love for God, our family and friends. In the unit: "Our Community" we'll use the big wall chart to review the names of places and community workers. We'll also read "Jobs". We'll create a movement for each action word in the book. We also begin to work on some Dr. Seuss crafts/ activities since Dr. Seuss' birthday ( March 2nd) is right around the corner.
