We have been having a wonderful time learning about our body and senses. Last week, the children made lemonade with and without sugar to compare both flavors.


We also practiced the zoo-phonics and we focused on the letters c and d. In math, we did many exercises with the numbers 1 to 6. The students worked on their fine motor development and creativity by making beautiful art crafts. 

                                             
                                        
Please keep in mind that next week is a short week, culminating in our Thanksgiving feast on Wednesday, November 24th! Parents and siblings are welcome to attend but please notify us who will be coming so we can have enough utensils, plates, etc. The special dish to share should serve between 12-15 people.

Dates to remember

Having fun counting and making patterns with play dough

Using our senses has been very interesting. Last week the children tasted different foods and they had to describe their flavor using words such as sweet, salty, sour etc.

Mrs. Vivian came to our class to teach us how to make homemade play dough. The children were very eager to play with the dough. This was also a very nice sensorial activity. We talked about soft and sticky.

This week we will focus in the sense of smell.

In math we will introduce the number 6.

For the Thanksgiving Holiday, we will be celebrating with a friendship feast on Wednesday, November 24^th at 10:00 am.  We would like each family to bring a special dish to the feast on that day.  The dish can be anything that is special to your family or is a tradition in your culture. 

Reminders.

There is no school on Friday. Teachers will be attending the Discovery School Workshop.

Dear Parents:

We have had a wonderful time learning about our senses. The children participated in a ¨Sight Walk¨ We walked around school gathering information with our eyes then we made a class book called The Sight Book which they illustrated with images of all the surprising things they discovered.

In math they have been practicing their counting skills. This week we will focus on numbers 1 to 5.

The students were introduced to the first letters of the alphabet, (a to i) using the Zoo-phonics method, this week we will continue with the letters j to q

They worked on their narrative and sequencing skills by using sequencing cards for the story “Five Little Monkeys” 

Picture Day
