We started last week off with Read Across America. We celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday by reading some of his stories and some of our favorite stories. We also did a few activities to go with his books.
The rest of the week was dedicated to learning about the letter W and the Intertidal Zone. I hope you've had a chance to do the Wiggle Dance and talk more about the letter W at home!
We had so much fun looking at pictures of tide pools and learning about the animals that live there! On Wednesday the kids got some numbers practice and scissor practice as they built their own crabs.
On Friday we talked more about the animals in the Intertidal Zone and also talked about story telling. The kids worked together to write this story:
"Freddie the octopus liked to swim and eat fish. Freddie ate his dinner to get him healthy. Then he saw five of his friends. He played games with them. They played freeze tag. Then Freddie left.He went to get more fish and be healthy. Freddie pretended to be a statue. Then he bonked his head on a rock because it was so dark. He found more food."
Some of the kids were not satisfied with that ending and wanted to keep going but we were out of time! A good follow up activity at home would be to help your child write their own story. They could even illustrate it afterward. If you get a chance to do this, please send their story to class for show and tell!
Have a wonderful spring break and I will see you all again on the 17th! (St. Patrick's Day, remember to wear green!)
