FRIDAY NEWSLETTER

This week, we continued to discuss the five senses and focused more on the sense of smell and taste. We started our week off with a taste test using jelly beans. With our eyes closed and our hands in our laps, we were still able to figure out what flavor jelly belly we were given using our sense of taste! We water color painted with Kool-aid but before we added water, we closed our eyes and smelled each cup to help us figure out which flavor Kool-aid we were using! Our paintings smelled very yummy!

Zoo animals are always fun to talk about and pretending to be one is more fun! We roared like tigers and galloped like zebras! Our animal crafts were fun to make too. We used a marble, black paint and a box to help us make stripes on our Zebras. A number line helped us to put together a snake and we had to use our very best coloring skills to make our tiger masks. Using our snipping and gluing skills, we turned an empty paper towel roll into a giraffe! Crafts are always fun to make. On Tuesday, we went to the gym and played freeze tag. It was nice to burn off some energy! We can’t wait for Spring so we can get some play time outside again. We continued to practice our writing skills and focused on the letter Z. We graphed animal stripes and spots and worked on classifying.

Thank you to all who helped us raise money for Patients for Pennies! It’s always nice for all of us to get together and do what we can to help others. Enjoy your weekend!
