Dear Honey Bear Room Families,

It’s been a terrific week in our classroom.  The Honey Bears have been learning about the Five Senses and had fun with the letter of the week.

• Examined our eyes in the mirror and discussed their color and shape.

• Played sound bingo and made music with all types of instruments.

 
Highlights:

• We used our binoculars to see out the classroom window.  NYC is filled with wonderful things to see!
• Lydia Tiraspolsky was our Person of the Week.  Her dad read The Little Blue Truck by Alice Schertle and From Head to Toe by Eric Carle.  The children really enjoyed being the animals.  Lydia did an amazing job telling us about her pictures and herself.  She also showed us some terrific gymnastics moves!
