Although this was a short week, it was packed full of learning fun! Some of our highlights were dental health, camouflage, paint mixing, polar bears, rain, rainbows, goop and Bee Bots! Ask your little scientist to tell you all about how rainbows are made, what two colors you need to make gray, what happens to make thunder, what camouflage means, and how to make GOOP! Also, don't forget to ask your little one to sing our tooth brushing song and why brushing their teeth is so important.
I was so impressed with our little engineers' ability to code with our little bee robots - BeeBots! They had so much fun programming the robots to travel around our classroom (see photos above). We will continue coding with more difficult challenges in the upcoming weeks.
Please remember to dress your child in their favorite rainbow color for Wednesday (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).
Also, please return your popcorn permission slip with your preference as soon as possible. Thank you! (Everyone did sign one for our Five Senses Unit earlier in the school year but I need one for Popcorn Math and Letter Writing as well.)
And we are SOOOO EXCITED for Pajama Day on Friday!!! Please have your little sleepyhead bring in one "snuggly" friend (teddy bear, doll, stuffed animal, etc) on Friday. We will be making a class graph with our bedtime buddies.
