Hope everyone enjoyed the warm weather last week.  Looks like the cooler temperatures have returned.   We enjoyed some walks in the courtyard last week and had the chance to play with chalk and bubbles too.   Hopefully we will be back out on the playground very soon.

This week we will celebrate St Patrick’s Day and practiced our colors with a few more rainbow activities.  We will also do a mini unit on Teddy Bears.  We will talk about bears hibernating in the winter and then coming back out in the Spring.  We will practice colors, counting and shapes with various activities.  And we will get to bring our own Teddy Bears to visit with our friends at school.

Books we will read:
