Our Week: April 15-19

Between Donuts with Daddy last week and Bike Day this week, we have been very excited at school! We've kept on working on our reading and math skills, too, and played some fun games. This week we focused on our last vowel Uu. This is a tricky one! We had several centers this week to help us learn this important letter. We made unicorn Uu books, colored upside down, painted giant umbrellas, and made a rainforest umbrella to go along with Jan Brett's book The Umbrella. We also worked on number formation, counting in Candy Land, and learned about bike safety. We had the felt boards out several times this week with different thematic pieces: rainforest animals, pirates, beach scenes, letters, numbers, and shapes. There was lots of designing pictures, making patterns, words and stories happening with these fun sets.

Literacy links: Here is our bucket of rainforest animals and small umbrellas that we used, along with the book, to recreate the story in The Umbrella.  We also cut out big palm leaves to make a retelling prop so we can tell the story at home.


Green tree frog gummy treats were earned for completed homework this week- YUM!
