At Elm Park this week, the children learned about the letter P, the number 3, and we continued to reinforce the colors of white and red. The children wrote in their journals (the big kids), practicing the letters o and p. We picked the letter P out of a sentence, wrote Ps in raisins, and practiced Ps and 3s on the white boards.
The kids made a mountain with a sled going down and made penguins. We talked a lot about Emperor penguins this week, discussing the hard task that the father penguin has while holding his baby egg on his feet for two months with no food. The penguin that the children made has an "egg" (cotton ball) in the cup to reinforce our learning. We used sequence cards with penguins to reinforce the concepts of first, next, and last.
The children skipped as long as they could while counting and then wrote the number on their Artic guy. They then dressed the Artic guy for the cold weather.
As a class, we acted out "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?" The kids loved holding the animals and saying their own parts.
Tomorrow the older children will be making and reading the book "Go Go Go", doing an experiment on keeping water warm in the sun (with different colored cloth covering each cup), and we will be creating silly stories with our imaginations!
Keep your eyes open for an email from Hilary (Abby's mom) about our upcoming Valentine's Day party!
