We continue our language arts unit on family this week with the theme “Family Fun”. Our new vocabulary will be “celebrate, holiday, and relatives”. We will read Celebrations, What Mommies Do Best/What Daddies Do Best, and Feast for 10. We will focus on letter Ee this week and read the story “Enor Elephant”, and learn an Ee song. Please remember to help your child choose an Ee object from home to share on Thursday this week as we do not have school on Friday. We will also make an “Ee is for Eyes” craft.

For math we will focus on the concept “How many?”. We will also review #7, hexagon, and the color brown.

For Jesus time we will continue to learn about families in the bible. This week we will focus on Jacob and Rachel having a baby. We will also hear some Jelly puppet stories and visit chapel on Wednesday.

Our science this week will be all about bats. We will learn the vocabulary words “mammal, echolocation, and nocturnal”, and we will learn how bats are not birds and make a Venn Diagram to compare bats and birds. We will also make fun watercolor bats to hang from our tree in our classroom.

Some special events this week include a fire truck visit on Tuesday and a Diwali celebration on Wednesday!

Please remember that picture day is this Wednesday.

This Friday school is closed for professional development for the teachers.

Have a blessed week!
