Week of Spring Break

This week and next week we'll be learning about the letter L and the number 9. Since the next two weeks are shortened weeks due to Spring Break we will stay with the same letter and number. We will also work on sequencing for the next two weeks. We will sequence stories that we're reading and we'll sequence events. For an example, we might have three pictures of a snowman out in the sun and the children need to put them in the right order with the complete snowman first and ending with the almost totally melted snowman last. Then we'll discuss the logic of why they are sequenced that way and ask questions about what the sun had to do with the snowman melting. We have done sequencing thoughout the year but we will concentrate on it during the next two weeks. We will make our Easter baskets this week and we'll put Easter grass and eggs in the sensory tables. The children love to try and match up the eggs and try to hide eggs from each other in the grass.

The green room has opened up a pizza shop in their play area and the children are busy taking each other's orders! In the red room we moved in two play work benches and numerous tools so the children are busy repairing and building.

Dates to remember:
  • Thursday and Monday, April 1 and 5-no school due to Spring Break.
  • April 8th-Bookmobile
  • April 14th-Red Room swims
  • April 28th-Green Room swims
