Families,

Yeah! It is starting to warm up outside. I'm so glad!

Today we went outside and wrote words on the cement with chalk.

Counselor: Mrs. Jennings read us a book called The Crayon Boxed that Talk. The kids talked about how we are all different and how we can learn from each other!
Spring: We discussed different words that remind of us spring. We made a list of the words! We have also been reading books about spring!

During centers, we decided to use our puppet theater to retell familiar stories and songs. Your children have great memories and are very dramatic. We might even have some future actors in our class. :)

Families,

I can't believe that it is still snowing! I can't wait until we can sit down in the sun and read a book!

Before break, we were really busy! On Friday, we went to the Lied Center and watched a puppet play called Stellaluna. The kids loved it! They did a great job following directions and listening quietly. I was very proud!

We have spent a lot of time discussing rhyming words. The kids worked with a partner to make a rhyming word list.
