Hello Parents!
This week we will be revisiting our winter unit, now with a stronger emphasis on animals. We will be learning about migration (the seasonal movement of animals from one region to a warmer one), hibernation (when animals go into a dormant state), and adaptation (changing to survive in their changing environment). We will read books like When it Snows, Over and Under, Animals in Winter and Winter Lullaby. We will be sorting animals into the 3 previously mentioned categories, creating a classroom book about winter as well as doing some practice with one-to-one correspondence and shape characteristic recognition (does the shape have big curves, little curves, big lines or big lines). Our study on Chinese New Year/Lunar New Year was a lot of fun! The morning class was able to experience a “Lion Dance” as part of the Ray Lunar New Year celebration. We are so grateful for our parent volunteers who offered to read and be our classroom “Experts”! Have a wonderful week! Mandi Heiser [email protected]
