Dear Honey Bear Room Families,

We’ve had an incredible week in the Honey Bear Room.  The children began our Transportation unit and we had a terrific time performing The Little Red Hen!

Classroom Activities:

• Sorted rubber vehicles by color and type.
• Made traffic lights and learned a new song sung to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star:”

Twinkle, twinkle, traffic light
On the corner, shining bright.
Red means stop,
Green means go,
Yellow means very, very slow.
Twinkle, twinkle, traffic light
On the corner, shining bright.

• Sequenced trains by numbers.
• Made adorable 3-D trains.
• Did a fire truck floor puzzle and practiced tracing and writing our names.

 
Highlights:

• Our Little Red Hen performance was a big hit!  The children were terrific and they really learned a lot about the theatre process.

Have a great weekend!
