This week we will begin to learn about Hummingbirds. We will read“A Butcher and Hummer” in The Burgess Bird Book for Children andwe will do a picture study of a Ruby ThroatedHummingbird. We will add a Hummingbird Feeder to our porch. The children are learning to be quiet “sneaky spotters,” and more birds are showing up to observe. We will also practice reciting “The Hummingbird” from On the Wing by Douglas Florian.
In Music we will pretend to be Hummingbirds as we move to Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major. The children are enjoying “Mama’s Lap”, and have almost learned the sequence to it.
We will learn about our sense of Taste this week. I have attached a Ziploc bag to return with something sweet, salty, bitter, or sour to taste and share with the other children (11 children). Please send it for our tasting party on Thursday.
We are learning about gentleness this week as a Fruit of the Spirit. We will talk about caring for others, and your child will begin to care for a plant at school this week. They will bring them home on Thursday. Please help him/her to continue gentle care at home.
We will be making a team shirt for field day next week. Please send $5 for the shirt and supplies. Mrs. Hague is collecting the money.
