I have had such a great time working with all the 3s and 4s over the last few months. Starting Monday April 25 we will be splitting back up to finish the school year. This way each class has time to work on their Portfolio Night performances, and the 4s can get ready for graduation! I am thrilled with the compassion, growth, and imagination we’ve seen since January, and I’m looking forward to getting the 3s in June! Thank you all for your support and involvement- we appreciate you.
This week we worked on the concept of symmetry and drew our self-portraits. We looked in mirrors and sketched what we saw, and then we talked about who we are as people. I loved their answers. We celebrated Earth Day with our grandfriends today- to be festive we made and wore grass crowns on our walk, and they looked funny on our heads. Using scissors and careful fingers, we snipped blades of “grass” along the edge of the crown. We also made a beautiful painting of a scene from “The Lorax” to leave at the Helena House! Each child made their own Truffula tree. Mrs. Cook has been pulling aside some children for Handwriting and also leaving activities and books for the others to explore during center time. We are having fun writing and drawing with new dry-erase crayons, which are great because they don’t dry out! We are loving swim lessons at the Y, and we will be going back Monday-Thursday next week. In Spanish this week we continued working with me gusta and no me gusta, or likes and dislikes. The students this age have very strong opinions about things, but I was impressed that they said me gusta to the wide range of foods we discussed! Have a great weekend! Our photos are here.
