Hello! I hope you had a great weekend.
We were very busy this past week learning about triangles. We created many pieces of art using triangle shapes and also had fun playing the game circle or triangle and singing our shape songs with the shape puppets. The kids also enjoyed using popsicle sticks to trace both small and large triangles. We finished up the week by welcoming a new friend Nia to our classroom. She will be with us five mornings and we are excited to have her in our class.
This week we will be learning about Squares. We will be playing games, singing songs, doing art projects and reading stories that feature the square. We will also be doing activities that combine the shapes we have already learned about to reinforce identification and recognition. We will also begin to talk about spring and look a little bit at the holiday of St. Patrick’s Day. We will be using green in our art projects and be printing with potatoes and dancing to Irish music.
We will be having parent/teacher conferences during the week of March 18-21. A sign-up sheet will be by our go-home box, please take a look at the available times and sign up. If you need an afternoon time-that can be arranged on request. We will be talking about your children’s progress, their growth, goals I have for the rest of the year, and their placement for the next school year. I can’t wait to talk to you and show you all that we have learned and the friendship’s we have made.
Have a terrific week!
Ms Cami
