The children enjoyed doing rocking motions with a partner as they sang “Mama’s Lap” last week. This week we will practice sequencing objects as the children try to remember the “next” toy in the song sequence. They also had fun creating sculptures with Zoodles. This week we will make a “Z” and other letters with Zoodles as we review our letters G-L. We will also search for hidden letters in the Waldorf Alphabet Book.
In Nature/Science we will make bird feeders and practice our skills at being “sneaky spotters” of birds. Our mission will be to try to find information that will help us find answers to our questions about birds. We will read Outside and Inside Birds, which answers questions such as: Why do hummingbirds fly backwards? Do birds have ears? What are their feathers made of?Last week we discovered an acorn that had sprouted into a tree. We examined it in circle and planted it into a pot for our atrium. We will watch it grow, and when it is big enough we will plant it outside.
In Bible, our Fruit of the Spirit is Gentleness. We will read the story of Joseph’s reunion with his brothers and have a puppet show called “The Lemonade Stand.” We will also listen to a social story entitled “Waiting My Turn to Talk.” We will read it, and then listen to a version set to music. We will finish narrating “Two Bad Mice” this week, and begin “The Tale of Tom Kitten,” by Beatrix Potter.
The Golf Tournament and dinner is next Monday, May 11. We will have a movie, pizza, and activities for the children available at the Shady Valley Country Club, and Mrs. Hague and I will be there to supervise. Pizza and snacks are $5. Please let Jennifer know if your child is planning to join us.
