Fantastic Ff Week! Super Sight Week! Planting Vegetable Soup Week!

Last week continued to bring fantastic learning experiences.  Here are just a few:



Sharing time with our new middle school buddies Kaelin and Cameron, who will join us every Tuesday and Thursday for lunch.

Learning about our sense of sight through play with light table objects, and exploration of kaleidoscopes and color paddles was so much fun!


As the children continue to learn about themselves and their bodies they are experiencing activities that make them think about how they are put together.  We studied Mat Man earlier this year and watched how his body was made of different parts beginning with a head, body, arms and legs.  The children are learning all about different shapes and created self portraits using shapes to make up their heads, bodies, and arms and legs.  The shapes came out of common school objects and reinforced how each child is put together and how each child has a personality all their own.  The results were fabulous!  Please come to see them.  The portraits are showcased on our bulletin board in the classroom.


Creativity and color are always celebrated in class, but especially during sight week when the children are learning about the colors, how we see them, and even their names in Spanish! :)


This new week will bring lessons on the sense of hearing, letter Ee, and with the computer!  Stay Tuned!
