Week in Review

This week was "All About Me"! We read a variety of books that celebrated the differences among us...our hair color, eye color, family members, homes we live in, food we like, etc. We made graphs of our hair and eye color, favorite colors, favorite activities, and favorite foods.

New this week was our color of the week. We started off with RED and we will continue to work our way through the rainbow! Each week the students learn a new color song which not only teaches them to recognize the color, but also to spell the color word. A copy of the color song and it's tune went home with each child yesterday. Thanks so much for sending in red items. Here is what you helped create:

We will make a poster like this each week. They create a great visual reminder in our room of each color and how they are spelled.

Next week we are going to be focusing on families and friends. Thanks for sending in family photos for our room! They make a great addition to the dramatic play area. If you haven't sent in yours, it's not too late!
