Wild Wednesday!

Whew!  We were busy and chatty today, but still managed to get a lot accomplished.  We are quickly reviewing the alphabet with our letter a day unit.  We are already to Ll and Mm!  Today we sorted jelly beans by color and then graphed them.  We also kissed our Kk's and put jewels on our Jj's.  We are having a good time learning whose name begins with which letter too.  We will end the week with Nn and Oo and will finish our review next Thursday.  This is all leading up to our Alphabet Party on Friday the 2nd.  More info and a wish list for the party will be coming home soon.

Friday Info

The children are bringing home their yellow folders today with their weekly newsletter/ behavior report.  Please take the time to look over the newsletter and talk to your child about his/ her behavior good or bad.  This will help them know that you know what is going on in the classroom.  As some of you know Ooops notes began going home yesterday.  Several went home today as well.  One reason for this is to make them understand that there are consequences for their behavior.  It may take a little longer for some of them to settle in to our daily routine than others.  Please be patient with them and the Ooops notes!  We will be working hard here to adjust to the appropriate behavior.  I will let you know how it is progressing.  Be on the look out for some great behavior notes soon.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Busy Week

Monday we began our letter of the day study.  We have had a great time diving into the alphabet this week.  On Monday we made alligators and ants and ate animal crackers.  Yesterday we added band aids to Bb's that we colored blue, black or brown.  We also drew a picture of ourselves with a boo-boo and a band aid on it.  We painted bears, read Blueberries for Sal and ate blueberries.  We also sorted and graphed gummy bears.  They were a big hit!  Today we discussed Cc and listed a lot of Cc words.  We colored C's and glued comics to them, created caterpillars made from two different colored c's that we made patterns with.  We even had carrots for a special treat.  This morning we frosted our birthday cakes we worked on yesterday.  We used a special paint that looks like real icing.  They look delicious!

We will complete this week studying Dd and Ee.  There are many more surprises on the way!
