March 22-26

Hello,

This week we learned about the Post Office. We looked a pictures from the book A Visit to the Post Office. The kids told us what they thought a post office was. On Monday, we talked about rain clouds, rain, and rainbows. We read the book Rainy Day, which explains what happens when it is going to rain. On Tuesday, the kids made their own Postage Stamp. On Thursday, we talked more about Spring time and what changes we see. After discussing this we drew pictures of SPRING TIME. Please look for them when you enter the classroom. Today we traced our addresses and mailed letters to ourselves. We also played Post Office; the kids got to be either the postal worker or the person sending a letter, they had to "buy" a stamp to put on their letter, then hand them to the postal worker. The postal worker had to sort the mail in to piles, colors of the stamps, then they had to deliver the mail to their friends cubbies. They had a lot of fun doing this. With the rainy days we were not able to go outside as much as we would like too so we had inside play playing hide n' seek and doing a lot of art projects.

Next week we will be learning about Firefighters. We will talk about what they do and read books about them.

We also had a Birthday this week. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CYUBA!!!!!!!


Have a great weekend!!!!
