T/Th 3's Class:

This week, we began our exploration of plants and flowers! We learned that plants are living things that need soil, water, air, space and food to live. We also learned about the parts of a flower and did an experiment to see what would happen if we placed flowers in colored water. We were amazed to see that the petals started to turn different colors! During center time, we practiced counting while adding beads to flowers, built beautiful flower gardens, labeled what a flower needs, and created flower art. We also learned about the letter W and turned our handprints into whales for our letter books! When we return from spring break, we will continue to learn about flowers and learn about the letter Y. Here are some picture highlights from our week in 3's:

PM 5's Class:

This week, we learned about many of the important community helpers within a community! We specifically learned about safety helpers, school helpers, food helpers, health helpers, and builders and fixers. We explored the important roles they play in our community, as well as learned about some of the tools they need to do their jobs. During center time, we enjoyed playing with construction trucks in the sand table, trying on different community helper jobs, reading about community helpers, matching community helpers to their tools, and playing  in the fire truck and fire station. We also learned about -ad word family and sorted words in the -at and -ad word families! When we return from spring break, we will focus on spring and the -an word family! Here are some picture highlights from our week in 5's:

Have a relaxing, safe and wonderful spring break!
