3/10 Classroom Update

This week, we met the Magic C Bunny and learned all about the letter C! The Magic C Bunny will be helping us learn about many upcoming letters that have curves. We practiced writing the letter C, colored words that begin with C, sang silly letter C songs (C is for Cookie is my favorite!), and made a cat for our letter books.

We also learned about rainbows and why they occur (water or prisms separate white light into all of the colors). We recreated rainbows in our classroom using flashlights, prisms, and water, as well as made liquid rainbows using different liquids. We learned the order of the colors in the rainbow and finger painted rainbows. After reading the story Elmer, we painted our own rainbow parade of elephants (many are now on display in the hallway!). We also sorted colors, completed color puzzles, and practiced recognizing and writing color words.

Next week, we will be reviewing many of the letters we have learned about so far and participating in lots of fun, St. Patrick's day themed learning centers! Students are welcome to wear green on Friday, March 17th, and be on the lookout for signs of leprechaun mischief!
