Argh Matey!

We had so much fun with our ocean and pirate theme this week!  I took many pictures and will try to get them loaded to our website soon.  I will also try to post some to our Google Classrooms.  If you need help accessing our Google Classrooms, please let me know.

FANTASTIC FOURS

• Religion – We completed our unit “God Made Friends” and began “God Made Helpers.”
• Literacy – We completed our activities for the letter B and began learning about the letter C.  We’ve been learning to trace our names, identify rhyming words, segment words into syllables, and review the alphabet.
• Math – We’re continuing to review colors and shapes.  We put numbers 1-6 in the correct order to make a pirate picture.  We are also learning about patterns.
• Science – This week we learned about the ocean.  We were able to take virtual field trips to “visit” many live aquarium feeds.  We learned about coral and created our own coral reef sculptures.

TERRIFIC THREES

• Religion & Science – We are continuing to learn about our 5 sense.  We’ve learned about hearing, sight and smell.
• Literacy – We’ve been doing a lot of fine motor work in our “Smart Books.”  We’ve practiced cutting and gluing, and drew pirate treasure with sparkly gel pens.  We also have read several new stories.
• Math – We continue to learn about the colors.  This week, we focused on the color yellow.  We also learned to sort objects by size.

REMINDERS & UPDATES

• Terrific Threes children do not need towels or toys.  We can use our carpet in the classroom and have started small play groups in the morning.  I apologize for any confusion.  I am still making adjustments to see how things will work best.
• Fantastic Fours children do not need toys.  We have started small morning play groups.  They may still bring a towel.  Most of them like it for rest time.  They may also bring a few books to look at during rest time.  We have several children who do not nap, but enjoy looking at books during quiet time.
• Please complete any of the office forms for back to school ASAP.
• Terrific Threes, please be sure to pay your milk fee for August and September.
• As the weather gets chillier, please make sure your child has a jacket for outside play.  Please put your child’s name in the jacket.
