MWF 3's Class:

This week, we engaged in lots of summer fun! We identified and explored summer objects, learned about summer safety, and discussed things people like to do in summer. We also talked about the fun summer treats people like to eat. We had lots of fun working in our classroom ice cream shop and made some fun summer treat crafts. During centers, we practiced sharing and using our manners with a fun ice cream toss game, experimented with seashells and playdough, played summer bingo and practice sequencing the letters in our names. On Friday, we learned about summer holidays including Memorial Day and Independence Day. We painted fireworks with forks and created patriotic wreaths to decorate for the holidays. Here are some picture highlights from our week in 3's:

PM 5's Class:

This week, we had a great week talking about summer fun! We learned about summer, the weather in summer, and fun things to do in the summertime. We also learned about opposites and identified many different pairs of opposites. We enjoyed lots of time playing outside in the beautiful weather and working in our classroom ice cream shop! On Monday, we completed our butterfly journals and released our butterflies. We were sad to see them go but were very excited when they landed on us! We learned about different holidays in the summer, summer safety, and the -op word family. We also created summer bucket lists of things we would like to do this summer. Here are some picture highlights from our week in 5's: 

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
