Week of 11/26

Dear Honey Bear Room Parents,

Welcome back and we hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving Holiday!  Please read the update below on what we have been up to in the Honey Bear Room. 
 
Theme This Week:

• Pets
• The letter U

 
Books We Read:

• Tails Are Not for Pulling, by Elizabeth Verdick
• Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons, by Eric Litwin

 
Places We Went:

• Gym 3 for Duck, Duck Goose and fun with hula hoops.
• Art with Julia and Janae.  The children painted at the easels with either cool colors or hot colors.

 
Classroom Activities:

• Made the letter U out of play dough and made a list of U words.
• Played a dog/bone count and match game.
• Did bunny and carrot sequencing and picked out which hamster is different.
• Put animals into categories depending on if they were pets or not and then sorted cats by size.
• Took a class survey on who has pets and who doesn’t. 
• Made adorable fish bowls that can be seen on our outside board. 
• Had fine motor fun practicing with scissors and tweezers. 

 
Highlights:

• The children started working on our piece for the auction.  They are really excited to see how it comes out!
• The weather wasn’t too cold, so we had a chance to go to the roof.

 
Looking Forward To:

• Thursday, 12/20/18- holiday party in the Honey Bear Room at 11:30.
• Monday, 1/7/19- Return to school after break.

 
Have a Great Weekend!
