Week of 3/11

Hello Koala Bear PM Families!
 
The students have been so fascinated by the Five Senses, we decided to continue exploring each of our senses this week. We also talked about our upcoming Spring Break vacation. Here are some of the fun activities that we did this week!
 
Centers:

• The students worked on their cutting skills by folding a piece of paper in half, and cutting out a shape. They were amazed to see that when they opened up the paper, there was a mirror image of the shape.
• As a whole group on the rug, we worked together to make Mat Man (who the students said was really Mat Woman!). The students then sat down at the table to draw their individual Mat Man. Their drawings have progressed so much since the beginning of the year!
• Since the students love cooking, we asked them what they would like to cook and voted on corn muffins. They loved helping to mix and pour, and loved eating them even more!
• We made leprechaun faces! The students had so much fun decorating their hats and painting. 

Some Books We Read:

• When Spring Comes, by Kevin Henkes
• And Then It’s Spring, by Julie Foglian
• Pete the Cat: The Great Leprechaun Chase, by James Dean

Letter of the Week:

• K! A “K”ooky letter! 

Dates to Remember:

• MCS will be closed for Spring Break the weeks of March 18 and March 25 and will reopen on Monday, April 1st. 

 
We hope everyone has a fantastic Spring Break!
