Week of 4/15

Dear Blue Room Families:
 
We had another exciting week!  Below is an update on what the Blue Room children learned this week at Montclare.
 
·Books we read:

• Take Care of The Earth Everyday, by Tammy Gagne
• Why Should I Recycle, by Jen Green
• The Adventures of an Aluminum Can, by Alison Inches
• The Lorax, by Dr. Suess

 
 
 Classroom Activities: 

• We  spent the week discussing Earth Day and the many ways to keep our Earth clean and beautiful.
• We created three dimensional globes using torn paper  to illustrate our beautiful planet. We also wrote and illustrated how we show our planet love. We put these together to create Earth Day mobiles for decoration.

• We learned the three R’s-reduce, reuse and recycle. We “practiced” recycling and addition by sorting the garbage in our garbage bin. This allowed us to sort, count and practicing our addition all while recalling which items get recycled.

• We also performed "I Can See Clearly Now" at our April Assembly (see pictures).
• We also practiced reusing by painting all of the paper towel tubed brought in by you. (thank you for your help) We painted them and turned them into a new building toy. Next we collaborated with partners and documented using cameras all the different sculptures we made.
• We were also excited for the delivery of our caterpillars and ladybug larva. We are so excited to observe these life-cycles and watch them grow and change and become butterflies and ladybugs.
