This week was filled with excitement as we discovered new places and items to explore! We ventured to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and learned a bit about the history of music as well as the fundamental elements (volume, pitch and rhythm). What a blast! We could have stayed for days exploring the vast museum.
We are in the process of meeting our new classroom friend Twiggle as part of our PATHS curriculum. The children have been predicting who they think Twiggle may be and have learned only that he helps us. The predictions are absolutely fascinating! Look forward to the unveiling of Twiggle next week. Please ask your child how they have “met” Twiggle so far J.
We are sequencing in Reading, as well as learning basic sight words and the alphabet. Please remember to read every day with your child to encourage this passion. I Spy is a fun game to play with the sight words in the books you are reading at home.
In Math we are continuing to focus on our number formations, quantity, various ways to represent a number and calendar time elements (seasons, months, date, days of the week, place value, time, temperature, etc).
In Mandarin we were introduced to an ancient Chinese writing tool and some “magic” paper. The children really enjoyed using the tool to write their Chinese numeric characters.
A fabulous week in deed!
