Fireflies Weekly

Hello Firefly Families!

This week our focus was "All About Me". We created self portraits, traced our names in paint, did a name graph to see who had the most letters in their name, wrote about what we liked about ourselves in our journals, made an eye color chart and body creations. We read the books We're Different, We're the Same, Chrysanthemum, Happy In Our Skin, I Like Me! and I Like Myself and our HWT letter of the week was E.

Character Trait: Be Respectful

Happy Friday, Firefly Families!

This week we learned all about FIREFLIES! Our Handwriting Without Tears (HWT) letter of the week happened to be F too! We painted frames for our family portraits, cut out fireflies to put in a jar & wrote the number, cut out and created "very lonely fireflies" to match our Eric Carle story, responded to the journal prompt "If you were a firefly where would you fly?" and went on a firefly number hunt around our school. We read the books Fireflies, Ten Flashing Fireflies, The Very Lonely Firefly, It's a Firefly Night and Firefly Home.

Here's the link to a calming Firefly Song we sang and danced to this week!

Reminders:

*NO SCHOOL: Monday, September 7th--Labor Day!

*Our Firefly Kissing Hand book is making it's way around the class in the Show & Tell bag. If your child brings it home, please read it with them and send it back the next day so another family can enjoy. :)

*If you know your Firefly is not a rester, you are welcome to send a few books or a quiet activity for them to do alone on their mat during rest time. This can go back and forth from school or it can stay in their cubby. Thanks!

*Check out our new "Ride & Reflect" (formally known as "Car Talk") for this quarter!
