4/12 Classroom Update

This week, we learned about the -at word family and engaged in lots of fun spring activities! We mimicked how a seed grows into a flower with a parachute, painted beautiful spring flowers, and learned about why it rains. We also worked on sounding out, reading, and writing words in the -at word family (like cat, hat, mat, sat, chat, etc.). Here are some picture highlights from the week:

We practiced identifying numbers with a ladybug spin and stamp game!

We used bottles to paint beautiful spring flowers!

We built words from the -at word family with playdough!

We practiced reading, stamping, and writing words from the -at family!

We decorated spring playdough mats!

We painted spring tulips with forks!

Next week, we will start our unit on living and non-living things by learning about plants and what they need. We will also be planting radishes to observe and bring home later this year!
