Dear Parents,
We began our week writing the first of three sea stories. The first character was our big orca whale. The children added a mama, a nana, a grandfather, a baby, an octopus, a baby seal, and a shark - who quickly ate the nana.
In the classroom we have been building with magnet tiles, ocean creatures, and playing with play dough. In the big room we have been building with blocks, riding tricycles, climbing the jungle gym, sitting and spinning, and riding our see-saw whale.
Our second story included our big orca whale too. He was eaten by an octopus, but later in the story came back alive, after which the octopus exploded.
Our third story began "once upon a time" and ends with brushing teeth before bedtime.
We acted out our stories and chose one for our graduation ceremony.
We have been reading Herman The Helper, What Is A Fish?, Weird Sea Creatures, Commotion In The Ocean, Coral Reefs, Fish Is Fish, The Little Island, and Tough Boris.
During music with Alex we wrote our third story and drew in our books. We heard the drums and xylophones coming from the big room.
We added X, Y, and Z, to our alphabet wall, and are still brainstorming words to add to each letter.
Our pool day on Friday went swimmingly. Everyone had turns in the pool and at the two water bins. Someone yelled as they stuck their hands in the water, “We don’t even have to push up our sleeves!”
Have a fun weekend!
