This week the Elm Park kiddos learned about the role of worms in gardens, the life cycle of a frog, the life cycle of a caterpillar, the number 11, the letter X, and the difference between wants and needs. We sang songs about butterflies and caterpillars and wiggled to a worm song on the ground!
We continued to monitor the plants that we planted. The grass is growing nicely and the flowers have struggled a bit. They are so excited to check the growth each day.
The older children continued to read their books, worked on identifying the first sound in a word, and practiced their letter writing. We all worked hard to find X words (not an easy task). And the whole group practiced the letter X on the white boards and on a sheet of paper. The children cut out a sheet of wants & needs & money and had to "buy" the needs. For the most part they got the concept, although some viewed toys as needs!!
Just a reminder, summer school sign-ups have begun and the price for our summer program will go up in May. Hope you are all having a wonderful week!!
