Parents,
This morning we ate breakfast, counted with flowers, and worked on our fine motor skills by feeding corn to pigs and creating words with Velcro letters! We also made more gages and headlights for our fire engine and then stapled the them on our truck! At circle time, we decided it was rainy outside, and we placed the rain drops and the dark cloud over our classroom tree. We counted the numbers on our calendar, and discovered that today was Wednesday, March 11th. For dancing and movement today, we learned a new song that started with our letter of the week, "T"! The song was "Tiny Tim the Turtle." We held a small toy turtle in our hands, and learned the words and movements to the song! We went outside for a little while on the basketball court and drew with chalk Tiny Tim, the turtle, with bubbles coming out of his mouth, just like our song. For story time, we read "Tacky In Trouble" and found the letter "T" on the cover of the book. During centers, we dressed up as firefighters, and fought fires in the Zilker Fire Station! We also finished our Clifford faces and started making turtles out of ovals, and triangles. We ate lunch with Pre-K, and since it was rainy, we stayed inside and danced to music and wrote out the lyrics to our new turtle song! After rest time, we will head over to Pre-K to look at a turtle that one of our friends brought to school!
Have a wonderful evening!
