The theme for the week was colors. The children made traffic lights to go with a poem. They read "Rainbow Song" and made a balloon picture to go with the poem. Both projects were TLC projects. TLC stands for Teaching Little Children. They are lessons where the children take pre-cut shapes and follow the directions to make a picture. Squares are cut to make circles and rectangles are cut to make triangles. Children learn shape names, position words and work on following oral directions.
We began a science unit on the five senses. We had fun smelling different things and trying to guess what each thing was. We also shook packages and tried to guess what was inside each one. We tallied our guessing for the packages on a chart.
We began to write in our Drawing and Writing journals. The children drew pictures and added labels and sentences to their drawings.
Next week the letter of the week will be Mm and the theme will be Mice. We work on all the letters and sounds as we read and write but we will focus on one letter each week.
