Parents,
This morning we ate breakfast and did fine motor work by working with play dough and tools, counting frogs, counting ducks in a pond, and typing with the Braille writer. During circle time today we determined that it's cloudy today, put the puffy white cloud over the tree, and touch the cotton ball cloud, counted to 25 during calendar and continued our pattern, and danced to "Peanut Butter". We played outside with our Pre-K friends. We made a big circle and passed the ball around. Ms. Avots read "Brown Bear's Wonderful Secret" for story time. During center time Ms. Avots worked with groups creating raccoon puppets. They did a lot of drawing, cutting, and gluing. In my group we did Handwriting Without Tears and worked with the letter "R" just like we did yesterday. I brought my pet rats in today as part of our letter "R" unit. Everyone touched them and let them tell them a secret. We also played with our tree home with nuts added today. All of the animals and insects were excited to see the nuts! We had lunch and played on the playground with Pre-K. This afternoon, after rest, Ms. Avots will work with groups tossing rubber ducks into a bin of real water and counting how many went in and how many went out and what the total was.
Have a wonderful evening!
