We are finishing up Theme 5 with our last unit 4 “Art All Around Us”. BIG Idea: I enjoy art that other people create. Knowledge Focus: Children learn how imagination and creativity shape our world. Social-Emotional Focus: Initiative. The theme vocabulary words include: appreciate, art, artist, artwork, dance, design, music and sculpture. Math vocabulary words include: area, bigger and smaller.
We will be learning the letter Ss, number 18 and continue to review shapes and colors. We will be reading the books “Too Loud Lily”, “White Rabbit’s Color Book”, “Dots! Dots! Dots! at the Museum”, and “Harold and the Purple Crayon” this week. On Friday, we will virtually visit The Met museum!
For Jesus Time, Mrs. Maldonado will discuss how Jesus stops a storm. We will also continue to discuss Ash Wednesday and the meaning behind Lent. We will begin taking a closer look at Lent in our Jesus Time packet. We will begin to sing our many Jesus songs in preparation for Easter.
