February 23rd - 26th, 2026: Transportation!

Hello Firefly Families!

This week we focused on transportation and things that GO! We made transportation emergent reader books to practice letter writing, matched pattern blocks in the shape of different vehicles, responded to the journal prompt, "If you could go anywhere, where would you go? How would you get there?", played the "parking lot game" with dice, created name rockets & hot air balloons, and sorted vehicles into different categories of land, sea and sky. Our HWT letter was Z, and we read the books Let's Go For a Drive!, Things That Go!, The Cars and Trucks Book and some Epic (a website) books on transportation. We also watched "How Do Rockets Fly?" and "How Do Hot Air Balloons Work?" from Sci Kids.

"Traffic Lights Song"

Do you know the traffic lights, the traffic lights, the traffic lights?

GREEN means GO! Yellow means SLOW, and RED means STOP, STOP, STOP!

Always watch the traffic lights, the traffic lights, the traffic lights.

GREEN means GO! Yellow means SLOW. And RED means STOP STOP STOP!

Reminders:

*Spring Break: Friday, March 13th - Friday, March 20th

February 17th - 19th, 2026: Post Office

Happy Friday, Firefly Families!

This week we focused on the U.S. Postal Service. We learned the process of how a letter is mailed & delivered, what you need to mail a letter (address, stamp, return address) practiced learning our own addresses, and made mailboxes for our classroom and spent the week writing each other postcards and letters from our writing center. We also created a post office in our reading arch and took turns being the mail carrier and delivering mail. We also learned about Lunar/Chinese New Year and made special red lanterns to celebrate. We read the books Bringing in the New Year, It Came in the Mail, Delivering Your Mail, Mail Truck's Busy Day, and The Giant Hug. Our Handwriting Without Tears letter of the week was Y.
