Farewell to Dr. Seuss!



                We set a goal to read 14 Dr. Seuss books during our two week unit. Did your child tell you how many books we actually read and which was their favorite?

Seahorse and Sharks News



Aedan and West painting their Dr. Seuss hats for our Green Eggs and Ham breakfast during Seahorse/Sharks group time on Friday.

This week during Miss Linda's group time we read The Cat in the Hat and My Many Colored Days.  We made our own books about how we feel on different days.  We also made our own Cat in the Hat shape word books which we had to read to Miss Linda before we took them home.We plan on ready 14  Dr. Seuss books by the end of next week!

Five friends sharing a smile and a hug. Getting in line for courtyard time after a little bicycle time.

Miss Suzy and Miss Linda thought this fine piece of board "thing" would be great for a ramp for cars and trucks.  But first~there needs to be a little sanding.  Miss Suzy found goggles, sandpaper and a brush for cleaning the area after sanding. Nicole is ready for work!
                                                                                  
Finley, Valentina, and Lily preparing to sand.
Weston and Luke continue to prepare the wood for a car and truck race.  It took us about fifteen minutes to prepare the surface.



Miss Jackie's group time focus is Frogs.   Mills says he is so happy because frogs are his favorite. The children are learning about frogs and this week they will free explore buttons and sort by classification, do a frog graph and practice numeral writing.

Show and Tell on our white blanket.  We love having our Seahorse and Shark Show and Tell out side.  We say three things about our Show and Tell item and then we field three questions about our item.
