What a fun week we had celebrating Dr. Seuss!
Monday, we read Horton Hears a Who. I love this book for so many reasons; it's a great way to talk about feelings and friendships as well as loyalty. We used pom poms to practice counting and sorting and made fun elephant or Horton ears. We continued to practice hand writing. This week we did the letters Gg, Jj, Qq and re-visited the letter Cc.
Tuesday the caterpillar class (9am) read the book , One Fish two fish red fish blue fish. Then we made our very own fish aquariums by painting 1/2 a paper plate with blue tinted Karo Syrup and sticking gold fish crackers on it. The kids had a lot of fun and were pretty sticky by the time we were done. :-)
The butterfly class (10:15) read the book The Cat in the Hat and made paper hats the same as the cats.
We are continuing to focus on letter recognition with the butterflies. They are working really hard on letter and number recognition. You can practice this with them at home as well.
Wednesday & Thursday we read Mr. Brown can Moo. The kids had so much fun making all the sounds along with the story. The dragonflies and the butterflies worked on hand writing and letter recognition. And the dragonflies did more pom pom math.
Thursday both classes spent time in the gym playing basketball and what time is it Mr. Fox.
Friday the dragonflies finished listening to The Chocolate Touch ask them what happened to John's mother and how John got rid of his chocolate touch. They loved listening to that story - everyday they were so excited when it was "chocolate touch time". I told them I would look for another read aloud book or chapter book on CD for them to listen too. Hopefully I'll have one by tomorrow... :-)
We played a game called 4 corners in the gym. Ask them what 'scramble' means in that game.
This week our theme is Dentist.
