Week of 3/11

Dear Panda Room Parents,


 
We had a great week in the Panda Room learning all about music and theater
 
Books we read:

• Kangaroo Kazoo, by Wendy Cheyette Lewison
• Panarella, by  Charlotte Guillain
• Peter Pan, J.M Barrie, adapted by Anne Rooney

 
Classroom Activities:

• Had our Letter of the Week “K”
• This week we talked about music and instruments
• We learned all about musical instrument families like string, woodwind, brass and percussion 
• Then we made our own banjos with a rubber band and talked about how the sound is making waves through the air from the rubber band like our experiment from last week!!
• We also revisited Mat Man (or mat girl)
• Lastly, each panda made their own TRICKY patterns using musical instruments

Theme this week:

• We talked about music and theater
• After break we will talk about Spring and Theater-- we started our very first chapter book this week!! I hope you are all hearing a little bit about the adventurous life of Peter Pan!

 
Reminders:

• May 13th- Theater Week!!!! More info to come but mark your calendars because this can't be changed and you don't want to miss it!!!
• Parts for Peter Pan will be given out when we return from break. The kids are all excited about all the parts which will be picked out of a hat!!!!
