We are finishing up Theme 7 with our last unit 4 “The Seasons”. BIG Idea: I notice how the seasons change. Knowledge Focus: Children learn about the seasons and how they change. Social-Emotional Focus: Curiosity. The theme vocabulary words include: branches, fall, leaf, season, spring, summer, twigs and winter. Math vocabulary words include: pattern and repeat.
We will continue to review letters A-Z, numbers 1-20, shapes, and colors. We will continue to learn how to count by 10’s and do our weekly journal on Friday’s. We will also begin to learn sight words this week! We will continue to read the books The Apple Pie Tree”, “What Will The Weather Be?”, “What Makes The Seasons?”, “Look, Listen and Learn” and “Weather” to go along with our theme of the week.
We will continue to work on our Mother’s Day crafts and they will be sent home this Friday in lieu of the upcoming holiday. We will also be focusing on all things butterflies! We are impatiently waiting for our butterfly growing kit delivery! We will be focusing on the life cycle of a butterfly and create a butterfly symmetry craft and virtually visit a butterfly farm! Lastly, our Special Person’s Day is this Friday! We can’t wait to have these special guests visit our classroom and make a fun craft!
For Jesus Time, Mrs. Gonzalez will be reading the story of how Jesus knows my name. We will also continue to practice our Graduation songs in preparation for the end of the year program!
I will be sending home homework packets on Monday which will be due back on the following Monday.
