2/23 Classroom Update

I hope you all had a wonderful Mid-Winter break! Although we had a short week, we still had lots of fun learning about different modes of transportation. We played with construction vehicles in the sand table, boats in the water table, and cars and trains on our transportation mats. We also drove cars on letter roads, made helicopters to take us where we wanted to go, as well as practiced patterning while making name rockets. Here are a few pictures from the week:

Matching beginning sound vehicles and letter wheels!

Next week (Week of 2/26), we will be having a fun Dr. Seuss themed week in honor of his birthday on March 2nd. Each day, we will read a different Dr. Seuss story and students are invited to dress up according to our theme that day! Here are the themes for the different days of the week:

• Monday – “Fox in Socks”: Wear silly or mismatched socks
• Tuesday – “Green Eggs and Ham”: Wear the color GREEN
• Wednesday – “Wacky Wednesday”: Let’s get silly! Wear your clothes backwards, inside out, or mismatched, and/or crazy hair
• Thursday – “The Cat in the Hat”: Wear your favorite hat.
