Our Week in Photos:

    📸 Here's A Little Snap Shot of Our Week📸   

My very favorite Crayola activity!!!

Can you guess what new naughty character we learned about this week??

She helped us learn about differentiating sizes: BIG, medium and small!!

Did you guess who she is yet?!?!

Any clue yet?!?

Here's your final clue!!!

If you're still having trouble, ask your literary analyst to tell you!!!

You're not off the hook quite yet... Do you know what letter we learned this week?!?

If you guessed Ww, you did wonderfully!!!

Ww is for whales!

They are such wonderous creatures!  

Be sure to ask your marine biologist to tell you lots of Whale facts!!

We learned all about helicopters this week too!

We read books and watched Blippi as part of our extensive research!

Then our aerospace engineers made their own!!

Do you recognize our broccoli clouds from last week?!?

We painted the first step in a cool Goldilocks craft...

Can you guess what other character we are going to make?!?

If you guessed BEARS you are correct!!!!

We practiced our scissor skills by cutting out our own Goldilocks and The Three Bears sequencing cards!!

We did so well on the entire assignment!!

After reading and watching multiple versions, we summarized the story!!

We  painted crosses for a special project coming home next week!

We read and DRAMATIZED one of our favorite transportation story books!!!

Ask your little trucker what it is called!!

Hint, hint... it rhymes with muck!! 

(Shhhh...  Don't tell your little story dramatizing trucker that they were working on their fine motor development!!!)

Then we made our own trucks!  Wait until you see what are loads are!!

Then our little Earth Loving Conservationists learned all about garbage trucks and keeping our world clean!! 

We finished off the week practicing our Easter Song and having a DANCE PARTY!!!

Hope to see everyone at our Easter Hat Parade on Monday!!!
