Nursery Rhymes

We are talking about Nursery Rhymes this week. Yesterday we did Hey Diddle Diddle. The children made patterned hats that they wore home. This morning almost the whole class could read the rhyme using picture points. Ask them to tell it to you at home. Today we foucused on Itsy Bitsy Spider. We sang the song using our hands, we drew, colored, cut and pasted three sized spiders and put them into size order (Large Medium Small), some of the children made a spider web with marble paint *paper laying down in flat box, rock it back and forth to spread the paint* they got to rock the box as far as they could count out loud. It was a very busy and fun day.

Please don't forget to send in your family picture if you haven't done so!

Our Week

I wanted to say Thank You to all the parents for your understanding this week with Open House being cancelled. It has been very hard on us up here this week. Mrs. Lowe was a huge part of our school, and we will miss her very much. As soon as we know about the updated Open House I will let you all know.

This week we talked about the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. We will continue to cover this book and do activities centered around letters. You can go online (www.youtube.com) and watch the story. Type in Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and a video will come up that we have been watching. Please help us to reinforce the knowledge of the letters in their first name. We have focused mainly on the first letter in their names. Most of the students are writing their names very well. *Always encourage them to use One capital letter at the beginning and the rest lower case*

Don't forget about Impact Aid forms. If we have not called you your form is correct and we thank you! Have a WONDERFUL long weekend and be safe!
