March 26-30, 2012





Overheard in the classroom...
"My mama thinks I'm a good artist"
"You are a stupendous artist!"


In Language Arts this week the children learned their Ch-, Sh-, and Th- sounds by filling in the missing sound to create a word.

We started a new topic in math - geometry. During math centers the children traced geometric shapes, built structures with blocks and drew them, as well as shape sticker art. We read Pezzetino by Leo Lionni which means "little piece". The children then created a work of art by using little pieces of squares.

Science continued with the parts of a plant as well as their function. The children made flower art using paper plates for the flower, pipe cleaners for the stem and brown yarn for the roots. They also got a chance to observe and draw a seed in their science journals.

Note: Due to the short week we will not be having a spelling test this week (April 2-6) nor will reading book bags be sent home!
