Week of 5/6

Dear Panda Room Parents,


 
We had a great week in the Panda Room learning all about  Theater and "Grown Ups Day" (our version of Mother's and Father's Day combined).
 
Books we read:

• Worm's Wagon,  by Samantha Berger
• Orion and the Dark, by Emma Yarlett
• Peter Pan and Wendy

 
Classroom Activities aka THEATER WEEK UPDATE:

• Had our Letter of the Week “W”
• We continued work on our scenery this week, adding more details to our pirate ship.
• This week the Panda children made tickets for admission to our play as well as a beautiful sign to be hung up outside the gym
• Our fine motor is not to be out done by our gross motor! Standing, dancing and singing is exhausting!! But luckily rehearsals are fun and we ALWAYS have free play afterwards.
• Lastly, we work on our cognitive development- our working memory is on overdrive right now. Remembering our lines, when to stand and sit, the song and dance moves is all a big part of our cognitive growth.
• We also made our very own shadows which will be hung in the gym to add some more decoration

 
Theme this week:

• We talked about  Theater and Grown-Ups Day
• Next week we will be moving on to our kindness theme

 
Reminders:

• 5/31- Victorian Gardens trip- every child must have an adult 

Have a great weekend!
