In case you haven't heard...Miss Katie, her new baby Lila, and her family are doing great. Thank you for the warm welcome over the last couple of weeks.
Even though this week was short, it was super packed with a lot a fun activities. Tuesday started off with Williams Elementary celebrating "Read Across America" week with a Dr. Seuss theme. This gave us the opportunity to focus on rhyming and reading along with a fun theme. Your child may have also mentioned our tour of the decorated classroom doors at school. I got a kick when a couple of students asked me if we could go on another field trip again soon. We decorated our classroom door with personalized Thing 1's and Thing 2's. Please check out the Shutterfly photo sharing site for fun pictures of this weeks festivities.
Wednesday was National Tornado Drill Day. The morning class was here for the drill. We talked about listening, following instructions, lining up, and safety procedures. A.M. Preschool did a great job following instructions.
We also have been talking and learning about animals. Some of the work lessons have included making a patchwork elephant from construction paper inspired from the story Elmer. Many students have been using props to retell the story of Elmer which celebrates individuality.
Our letter of the week was "D." Next week will be the letter "K." Students have been working really hard on letter naming and letter sounds. Please encourage and ask your child about the letter week at home.
It feels like spring is coming soon. Hopefully next week we can get outside to the playground!
