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 SiteDazzling 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.
