Hello Firefly Families!
This week we focused on bugs and what we can do to help the Earth for Earth Day. We went on a rhyming hunt around our room to find rhyming words, measured bugs with unifix cubes, went on a bug number hunt around school, completed the emergent reader book "I See Bugs", responded to the journal entry "What can YOU do to help the Earth?" and learned how to sort recycling from the trash. We also went on a trash hunt around the LECC! We read the books Bugs, The Earth Book, 10 Things I Can Do to Help My World, It's Earth Day! and we watched the video "Bugs for Kids". We also had "Abilities Day" in our gym today, where we learned how some people need help to walk/talk/hear/see etc and how we were all born different.
Reminders:
*LECC Field Day: Thursday, May 23rd--more info to come!
*End of the Year Party for Fireflies: Last week of school...day/time TBD!
*LAST DAY of School (also a HALF DAY): Thursday, May 30th
Here are some pictures from the week!
