March 9th - 12th, 2026: Welcome SPRING! (Week 1)

Hello Firefly Families!

This week we started talking about the season of SPRING! We learned about what we see outside in the spring, windy weather and clouds. We created wind socks, practiced writing spring words in an emergent reader book, played with mud dough and flowers, created spring pattern crowns and played a rhyming game together as a group on the rug. We focused a lot on rhyming this week! We reviewed the letters E, F, G & H in HWT and we read the books The Thing About Spring, What I See In Spring, And Then It's Spring and a few digital books on Epic!. 

Reminders: 

*SPRING BREAK! Friday, March 13th - Friday, March 20th

*Please bring back your child's rest time things when we come back! Only blankets/pillows that fit in their cubbies please ;) Thanks!

*NO SCHOOL! Tuesday, April 7th

March 2nd - 5th, 2026: Construction!

Hello Firefly Families!

This week our focus was on CONSTRUCTION!  We made our reading arch into a construction site full of tools and things to build, hammered real nails into foam bricks, created construction vehicles out of different shapes, wrote and responded in our journals, "I built a...", built bridges with tape and popsicle sticks and tested them, and recreated famous landmarks with blocks! We read the books Mighty, Mighty Construction Site, Dazzling Diggers, Shape Up Construction Trucks, All About Construction Workers and Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site. We started a review of our alphabet this week for Handwriting Without Tears, focusing on A, B, C & D.
