Week of 3/4

Dear Koala Room Families,

​It’s cold outside but we had so much fun this week learning about the Five Senses. Here are some of the fun activities:
 
Theme:

• The Koala Room learned about the sense of sight, hearing and the sense of taste.

 
Books We Read:

• Sense Suspense, by Bruce McMillan
• Gregory, the Terrible Eater, by Mitchell Sharmat
• Sounds All Around, by Wendy Pfeffer
• Hearing, by Lillian Wright
• Subway, by Christoph Niemann

 
Centers:

• We worked on our sense of sight by playing game “What is missing”. 
• We worked on reading and storytelling skills by using sequencing cards.
• We played a science discovery game using our senses.
• We practiced our lacing skills using strings and wooden animals.
• We put together a dinosaur floor puzzle.
• For science we used our sense of taste and the children tried different food being blindfolded.

 
Highlights:
        We visited with Julia and Janae in Art!
 
Person of the Week:

• Matilda Tracer
• We loved learning about Matilda and listening to her favorite book!  

 
Letter of the Week:

• Our letter of the week was the letter “R”
• The Kola Bears made a chart of all the “R” words they know and we used paint to practice writing the letter “R”

 
Have a Great Weekend,

The Koala Bear Room Teachers
