July 20-24

THIS WEEK

We went on "vacation" to the Islands. We talked about what an Island is. Then we painted a Island Mural. (look for it on the wall in kitchen area) All the children get to pick something they would like to paint on the mural. Today our special snack was Tropical Fruit: Bananas, Pineapple, Mango, and Coconut. We guessed what the fruit was, talked about what color it was, if it was hard or soft, and what it smelt like. The kids had a lot of fun with this snack.

We worked on shape and letter recognition a lot this week. We also used the website: www.pbskids.org/wordworld this is a Great website for the kids. They are asked to find letters by sound recognition, spell words, and help the characters find certain words. They had a lot of fun with this.

We worked on the letter O this week. O is for Open.
Thank you:
Ethan for bringing in Orange things, the number one, and an Octopus making an O.
Ronin for wearing Orange shorts.
Alexander for showing us the number One and an Octagon.
Cate for showing us an Octopus.
Katrina for showing us an Octopus.

Also, P is for Panther, Pumpkin, Pulp, and Purple.

Have a Great weekend!!!!!!!
