Week of 3/11

Dear Honey Bear Room Parents,

The Honey Bears had a terrific week at school.  We began learning about Spring and had some fun with wind!
 
Theme This Week:

• Spring and Wind.
• The letter of the week was K.

 
Books We Read:

• The Wind Blew, by Pat Hutchins.
• The Little Red Hen and the Passover Matzoh, by Leslie Kimmelman.

 
Places We Went:

• The roof for some climbing and sliding.
• Movement with Lindsay.

 
Classroom Activities:

• Explored with wind and played with pinwheels.
• Read a Scholastic Magazine called, “Up, Up, Up!”
• Used straws to try and move objects with wind/air.  We charted the results.
• Played a count and match kite game.
• Made adorable wind socks.
• Used our flip crayons to practice tracing from top to bottom. 
• Practiced cutting and lacing. 
• Did all of our HWOT activities for the letter K.

 
Highlights:

• We’ve slowly been introducing the children to the story of the Little Red Hen.  We will be performing our own version for you in May.  More details to follow. 
• Assembly with Noel.
• Finally the weather was cooperating so we had a chance to use the roof!

 
Dates to Remember:

• Monday, April 1st- School resumes after Spring Break.
• Thursday and Friday, April 25th and April 26th- Parent/Teacher Conferences.

 
Have a Wonderful Spring Break!
