The winter weather sure is not cooperating with us this year! The fields trips to the fire hall for Monday had to be rescheduled due to the cold weather. I hope to have confirmation about the trips taking place this coming Monday, March 5th soon and let all parents know my phone text or email.
Monday and Tuesday we were busy learning about Oscar Orange and his O sound. The children were excited to learn that their mouth makes an o sound when you say O and when you make his sound. We all took an orange home to remind us of the letter. Lots of interesting O items were brought for show and share. We accepted all interpretations of the project; a bird's nest which was found OUTSIDE, a blanket which makes an O shape when you roll it, a dog toy which has an O in the middle of the word, and the wonderful OATMEAL & ORANGES snack brought by one of our friends.
March 29th was anti-bullying awareness day so I provided the children with pink shirt pins to wear and celebrate being a BUDDY not a bully. One class decided to make puppets out of their pink shirts- that was very fun! We had discussions about what a bully is and that children should talk to an adult; teacher, parent or family member if they feel they are in trouble. Some of the stories we read to help support this topic were: Share and Take Turns by Cheri J. Meiners; Just My Friend and Me by Mercer Mayer and A Friend For Life (The Jungle Book) by Lisa Ann Marsoli.
Take Care,
Miss Frieze
