Dear Garden Room Parents,

We had a great week in the Garden Room, as we continued learning and singing different nursery rhymes!!

Below is an update on the many fun things we learned this week:

Books we read:

Hey, Diddle, Diddle and other Favorite Nursery Rhymes Illustrated by Hannah Wood
Row Row Row Your Boat, Told and Illustrated by Iza Trapani
Mary Had a Little Lamb, Illustrated by Liza Woodruff

Activities with Specialists:

In Music with Noel, we sang It’s A Small World After All and Doe-A-Deer.
In Movement with Lindsay, we hopped around like kangaroos and collected colorful ‘hats’, and we practiced using the hula hoops.
In Library with Lindsay, we read The Crayon Box That Talked, by Shane DeRolf.
In Art we built various structures using colorful shapes at the light table, we enjoyed working with clay using different tools, and we practiced our drawing on the dry erase boards.

Classroom Activities:

We sang many nursery rhymes including Mary Had a Little Lamb, This Little Piggy, and Little Miss Muffet.
We created Mary’s Little Lamb, by gluing soft white cotton balls together, and we added eyes and the feet.
We made Itsy Bitsy spiders, using a toilet paper roll, black paint and shimmery blue glitter, then we added silly colorful eyes to our spiders.
We used fun animal stamps with colorful stamp pads, to create beautiful pictures.

Highlight: We enjoyed going to the school-wide assembly and as a class we spoke about the many fun things we will do over the spring break!!

Theme: Nursery Rhymes

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb,
It’s fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.

Reminders:

Library books are due on:

Thursday mornings – for 2AM
Friday mornings – for 3AM

Have a wonderful and safe SPRING BREAK!!!

Your Garden Room Teachers – Ms. Coleen, Ms. Karen and Ms. Mildred
