Hi Families! Announcements:
We are in the home stretch! With only 3 weeks left of school, it is absolutely amazing to think back and reflect on how much your children have grown over the course of the year. They have built two extremely strong classroom communities where they love and care about each other. On Monday of this week, we went outside to the sidewalk and they found their names written down. They traced their names with a piece of chalk and then “painted” their name a paint brush and water. Later on in the day, the U32 band and chorus students came to put on a performance. There were wind instruments, string instruments, and singing. One friend leaned over and said to me, “This is my first concert, it is so fun!” On Tuesday, the kiddos went on a the same shape treasure hunt that the Wed/Thurs class went on last week. They enjoyed making pirate hats and using their treasure maps to find the treasure! On Tuesday & Wednesday, both classes “made” beehives with counting cards, yellow pattern blocks (honeycombs), little bee pictures (bees), and pom poms (pollen). The cards said something along the lines of “3 honeycombs, 4 bees, 2 pom poms,” and they had to count all of them out and design their beehive! On Thursday, we did a similar game but with smoothies. I had red pom poms (strawberries), blue pom poms (blueberries), and some cut yellow felt (bananas). They had to figure out what numbers were on the cards and make a smoothie! An example is: 4 blueberries, 3 strawberries, 7 bananas. We all “tasted” the smoothies after. Some friends were getting deep into the play saying that their smoothies need more banana or have too many blueberries. It was fun! In addition to “making” smoothies on Thursday, they also enjoyed playing rounds of animal bingo with Crystal. A few of them were very interested in making hats with dinosaurs on them so we helped cut out dinosaur shapes and taped/glued them onto hats we made out of construction paper. They had a blast and were so excited to show all of you. Preschool screening was lovely! It was great to meet new kiddos who will be coming to school in the fall. If anyone moves into town and has a preschool aged child, please put them in contact with me. Ask Your Child: Did you make a beehive? How did you make it? Were there number cards? What did you use to make them [yellow pattern blocks, bee pictures, yellow pom poms]. Have a great long weekend, Deanna

What a great letter activity--the paint brush with the chalk. How do you come up with these? Joanne
