Hello Koala Bear PM Families!

This week we have been continuing to learn all about Spring, focusing on insects and butterflies. The students have also been very excited to hear about our Theater Week Performance of Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes. 

Centers:
  • The students learned all about symmetry. We explained that something that is symmetrical is the same on both sides, or is a “mirror image”. The students examined different pictures of butterflies, and pointed out the symmetry that they noticed in each.
  • Using paper butterflies, the students used paint and paintbrushes to make a design on only one side of the paper. The students then folded the paper in half, and when they opened it back up, they saw their symmetrical design.
  • Using an open-ended writing prompt, the students finished the sentence “I know it’s Spring when…”, and were asked to write down their answer. After they finished their writing, the students then drew a picture of their answer.
  • We have begun making our props for our theater week performance!  

Some Books We Read:

  • Are You a Butterfly?, by Judy Allen
  • Waiting for Wings, by Lois Ehlert
  • The Grouchy Ladybug, by Eric Carle

Letter of the Week:

  • V! A “V”ery fun letter!

Dates to Remember:

  • Parent-teacher conferences will be held on Thursday 4/25, and Friday 4/26.
  • MCS will be closed on Friday, 4/19 for Good Friday.
 
Have a wonderful weekend!

Laura and Desiree
