Week of 4/1

Hello Sky Room Families!
 
Welcome back! We hope you all had a wonderful spring break. The students were so thrilled to come back to school, and had many stories to share from their spring break adventures. This past week in the Sky Room we have been learning all about Spring and insects! 
 
Classroom Activities:

• Each student was given different colored circles with the letters of their name. They were asked to spell out their name, and paste the letters in the correct order onto a sentence strip. They then added on a caterpillar face and legs to create their own “caterpillar names”, which are currently featured on our outside bulletin board!
•  Using watercolor and coffee filters, the students painted dragonflies and butterflies.
• We made a new batch of play dough! The students were thrilled to help make the play dough, and pick out the color of their choice.
• We practiced our lacing skills using different types of lace-able bugs!

 
Songs We Sang:

• “In April Raindrops Flow, In April Flowers Grow”
• “The Ants Go Marching"

 
Books We Read:

• My, Oh My—A Butterfly!: All About Butterflies, by Tish Rabe
• 100 Bugs!: A Counting Book, by Kate Narita and Suzanne Kaufman
• Leo The Lightening Bug, by Eric Drachman

  
Reminders:

• Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday 4/25, and Friday, 4/26.

Have a wonderful weekend!
 
Laura, Desiree, and Ashley
