Letter B

This week we learned about the letter B with our focus items being Banana, Bugs and Baker.

In addition to the completed worksheets we did in class. We learned how to sign (ASL) the letter B, Bugs and Bee. Painted fingerprint Bees to go along with our song "Do you like to BUZZ?".

We examined Bugs (even though they were plastic a few kids still were not too sure about touching them) using a magnify glass, talked about what they looked like and then determined if they flew or crawled. 

This week we conducted our first science experiment by growing Bouncy Balls. The kids were so excited not only to see the results but to be able to take them home and show their families. Unfortunately, I heard a few experienced the mishap of them being squished. Sorry friends. 

On Friday we learned what a Baker does and all the many yummy treats they make. After reading "If you give a Moose a Muffin", the kids helped Bake Banana Nut muffins. They measured, mixed and of course ate them.

Weekly Folders have been updated with October's Calendar and Newsletter. Along with the one that is to be kept in the weekly folder for easy reference, there is an Orange copy stapled to this months book orders for you to keep at home. On another note, I have noticed some kids completed work being kept in/returned in their weekly folder. These are yours and should be removed. Take the time to look at your child's papers/projects; be proud of them, they work so hard.
