Week of 11/9/09 - 11/13/09

Theme: Weather and Seasons

Sorry that I did not post last week. I had a bad case of bronchitis and am just now starting to feel like my old self. I missed the kids, though, and was glad to get back to class

This week we will make fluffy clouds to hang all around our room in Art. We will play with "ice" blocks and arctic animals. We will play in a "rain storm" in the Sensory Table (Mylar strips, cotton balls, and laminated raindrops.) We will make a crystallized snowflake using borax and water in a science experiment. We will learn all about the way the weather changes in different seasons. We will learn about our next vowel, the Letter I. We will hear the story "Come, Follow Me" in Religion.

Thursday, Nov. 12 - Spirit Dress/Spirit Night
Friday, Nov. 13 - H1N1 vaccinations

Thanks to all of you who brought pets last week. The kids loved it! If anyone would still like to bring in a pet to visit just let us know and we'll set up a time. Check out the pictures below. (Hope I got the dog names right!)
