Week of 3/4

Dear Panda Room Parents,


 
We had a great week in the Panda Room learning all about our 5 Senses
 
Books we read:

• Rosie Rabbit's Radish,  by Wendy Cheyette Lewison
• Sounds All Around,  by  Wendy Pfeffer
• A Little Golden Book, Peter Pan

 
Classroom Activities:

• Had our Letter of the Week “R”
• This week we focused on our sense of hearing, touch and smell
• We learned all about how sound starts in our throat and we even felt our vocal chords vibrate.
• Then we conducted an experiment. We took a rubber band and put it over a bin. When we flicked it we saw it vibrate and talked about sound waves. Then we video taped it in slow motion so we could really watch the rubber band move and create sound.
• We then played sound bingo with partners. We had to listen and take turns!!!
• Lastly, each panda made their own 5 senses books! They are pretty spectacular :) 

 
Theme this week:

• We talked about 5 senses 
• Next week we will talk about music-- 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!!!
