Theme of the Week: Review!!

This week and next week is all review. We will be going over a lot of things that we have learned this year and getting ready for our summer routines! Reviewing our ABC's (sounds of letters), numbers (1-20 and beyond), and beginning word recognition such as "am" and rhyming words "bam, pam, etc". This next week we will be working on the "at" sound (bat, cat, rat, etc).

Theme of the Week: Wind and Weather!

The EP class has two weeks of wind and weather! We have made paper plate flowers, wind socks, coffee filter flowers, and doing lots of painting! We have been chatting about how the weather has been getting really nice (how the weather changes) and how unpredictable it can be. We also have been discussing how the weather, like windy weather can help us! From helping pollinate to pushing our sailboats across the water. The different types of weather we have also allow us to do different kinds of activities outside! We have been talking about what weather is best for certain activities: skiing, sailing, hiking, etc.
