Week of 4/15

Dear Honey Bear Room Families,

It’s been a wonderful week in the Honey Bear Room.  We’ve been having fun practicing for our performance in May!  Please read the update below to see what else the children have been up to.
 
Theme This Week:

• Bugs, Insects and Birds
• The letter M

 
Books We Read:

• Bugs, Bugs, Bugs, by Bob Barner
• The Very Lazy Ladybug, by Isobel Finn
• Gotta Go, Gotta Go, by Sam Swope

 
Places We Went:

• Art Studio with Janae and Julia
• The Roof

 
Classroom Activities:

• We voted for our favorite bugs- Most of us like butterflies!
• Made beautiful butterflies that are hanging on our outside board.
• Put bees in size order, did a butterfly puzzle and butterfly shape match.
• Had fun cutting caterpillars.
• Read a Scholastic Magazine called Backyard Insects.
• Next week, we will continue with Bugs, Insects and Birds and we will not be doing a letter due to the short week.

 
Highlights:

• We’ve really begun to dive into our roles for The Little Red Hen.  The children have heard many versions of the story and are exploring character development.  The Honey Bears are learning new songs and where they will be standing on stage. 
• We also discussed costumes and props and the role they play in a performance. 
• Soon, the children will be tackling scenery! 
• Please be sure to go to Weebly and check out some photos of the process!

 
 
Looking Forward To:

• Thursday and Friday, April 25th and 26th - Parent/Teacher conferences
• Tuesday, May 14th- The Little Red Hen Performance at 9:00 am in Gym 3.  Cast party immediately following in the Honey Bear Room

 
Have an awesome weekend!
