Last Week

We had a great week last week learning about the letter F. We loved reading the Froggy books. You might want to look for these at the book fair coming up soon. We also read several books with the word Five in the title such as "Five Little Monkeys" and " Five Ugly Monsters".

We glued feathers to the letter F. In Math we reviewed the shapes and made pictures using shapes. We also practiced our cutting skills by cutting out 3 yellow triangles.

Blessing of the Pets Day

Last week was a fun and busy week. We really enjoyed our fire truck visit. The Firemen gave us some safety tips. I imagine that you heard a few and probably had to schedule your own fire drill. They even got to help with the fire hose. It was pretty cool. I will be posting those pictures soon. Below is an album of pictures taken at the Blessing of the Pets and at recess on Friday. You can click on the photo album and view it full screen in Picasa as well as download the pictures.

We have really been enjoying the great weather and have worked especially hard on our large motor skills by riding bikes, jumping, running, and trying to go across the monkey bars. Our St. Michael's day parade was awesome. We were able to wave at the big kids and shout, "Happy St. Michael's day".

Nature Walk

We have enjoyed learning about our senses this week. We learned that God gave us our senses to protect us. We really enjoyed going on a nature walk and using our senses. We used our sense of seeing to locate a birds nest, trash on the ground; which of course we picked up, finding our way back to our classroom and a squirrel. We used our sense of hearing to hear the birds and the air conditioner. We touched the grass, which felt damp and the woodchips, which felt rough. We also felt the cool breeze on our faces.We smelled the hand sanitizer on our hands. We also saw an ant bed and learned that our sense of sight told us not to use our sense of touch on the ant bed! What a beautiful day of learning we had.
