January 23rd-25th

This week was a review week and learning about Martin Luther King Jr and Polar Bears.

 

 

We read Happy Birthday Martin Luther King Jr and talked all about why we celebrate him.

It was also a good week to review our letters.  We dipped a Q-tip in paint and traced the letters.  This was a big hit.  The kids absolutely loved this activity.

We also are still practicing our names.  How to spell them.  How to write them. 

How to recognize them.

We practiced our numbers as well.  Another big hit....stickers and counting. The kids all did a fabulous job counting and recognizing numbers 1-5.

 On Friday it was Polar Bear Day.  We read Big Bear, Little Bear.

We had Polar Bear Snacks.

We made Polar Bear art with our handprints, gluing, stickers, cotton balls and stamps.

 

 

Then we played a game and hid 10 Polar Bear around the room.  Everyone got to find 2 Polar Bears each.  We then learned a fun fact for every Polar Bear found.  Ask your child what they learned about Polar Bears.  Like ...

Where do they live?

What do they eat?

What are their babies called?

What color are their noses and feet?

 

What a awesome week and another short week.  Next week is all about the Letter M, Mittens, Number 3 and still more Name activities. Should be another fun week.  Thanks for the wonderful snacks and being on time to pick up your child. 

 

On another note, I have only heard from a few of you about next year, so please let me know if you want to put your childs name on the list for this fall.

Sincerely,

Miss Heidi
