Fireflies Weekly

Happy Friday, Firefly Families!

This week we focused on the ocean and the animals that live in it. We read the books Ocean Animals for Kids, Nat Geo for Kids: Sea Turtles, Caretta, Caretta, Nat Geo for Kids: Sharks, and Sea Lions and we watched many ocean animal videos to learn more about life in the ocean. We made our reading arch into the ocean with lots of animals, seaweed & sand, played with kinetic sand with shells & sea glass, made a shark face, sea turtles, and sea lions, responded to the journal entry, "My favorite thing about the ocean is...", patterned with shells and sea glass on the light table, went on an ocean animal hunt around the LECC and worked on numbers in our HWT book.

Reminders:

*FIELD DAY! Thursday, May 21st in the afternoon session. We are Team GREEN so please have your child wear GREEN to help represent our team!

Hello Firefly Families!

We had a fun week with all of the Fireflies talking about our mommies. We completed an emergent reader book about counting, colors and flowers, made a special gift for our moms by painting pots and planting flowers, made observations of our caterpillars (now chrysalides), responded to the journal prompt, "How does your mommy take care of you?", cut out flowers and sequenced them in order from largest to smallest and went on an ABC hunt around our room to see if we could match the lowercase letters to their capital letter. We read the books Are You My Mother?, Mother's Day Surprise, The Best Mother, and Mother's Day Surprise (Pinkalicious) and practiced learning how to write numbers 3, 4 & 5 in our HWT book. We also had our caterpillars turn into chrysalides! We can't wait to see the butterflies emerge in the next couple weeks. :)

Reminders:

*LECC Field Day: Thursday, May 21st
