Fireflies Weekly

Hello Firefly Families!

This week we learned about COLORS! We did a lot of mixing using primary colors and discovered new colors we could make using red, blue and yellow! We also worked on sorting colors, patterning, taking turns during our colorful "Gumball Game" and went on a color scavenger hunt around our room. We read the books Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?, Little Blue, Little Yellow, Mix It Up!, Mouse Paint and Mixed-A Colorful Story. Our letter of the week was H.

Color Song:

Orange is a carrot

Yellow is a pear

Green is the grass

Brown is a bear

Purple is a plum

Blue is the sky

Black is a bat and

Red is cherry pie

Reminders:

*Please bring in one apple (or a few if you'd like to help out our apple stand;) on Monday for our 2 week apple unit! Any kind or color will do ;)

*Our afternoon carpool is from 3:10-3:30. If you arrive after 3:25 you will get stuck behind the SSD buses. Feel free to pull over to the 5th grade center (only after the buses pull up) and walk over to grab your child instead of waiting in the long line behind the bus. After 3:30 we are going to start taking kiddos to the office. Thank you for your help with this!

*If you know your child does not rest, feel free to send in a quiet activity for rest time for them to do on their mat (i.e. coloring book, small/quiet toy, etc)

Here are some pictures from our week!

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
