Last week in Nature/Science the children enjoyed learning about the moon and pretending to be astronauts as we put on our space suits, blasted off into space, and walked around on the moon. This week we will read The Planets by Gail Gibbons. The children will begin to work on a book about the planets. We will also sketch petunias for our Nature Journal and plant a petunia into the garden.
In Phonics/Language we will play "Find It" with letters A-I using our Explode the Code Wall Chart. We will sort objects beginning with A & B into letter tubs. We will also begin to read Little Red Riding Hood (see sheet attached).
In Social Studies we will read "The First Nomads Become Farmers" from The Story of the World and learn about how Farmers used a shaduf (one of the first farm machines) to water their crops.
In Bible we will begin to read from Genesis 6, and learn about Noah. We wil read, "Noah Builds a Big Boat" from The Bible in Pictures. We will sing, "Who Built the Ark?"
In Music we will play "Astronauts in Space" as we listen to Chopin's Nocturne No.8 in D Flat Major, Op.27 No.2.
Please send a nap mat (or sleeping bag), pillow, and blanket for rest time if you haven't yet done so.
