Last week the children did a great job of stating the names of the first four planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars). This week we will learn about Jupiter and work on our books about the planets. We will also finish reading and narrating When Autumn Comes as we study about Habitats.
In Phonics/Language the children will sequence story cards and act out Little Red Riding Hood. We will also make a "d" with dimes and play "Toss and Tell" with objects beginning with the letters r-z.
In Social Studies the children will practice identifying and painting the country of Egypt on the map of Africa. We will also read Welcome to Egypt.
We are enjoying our time together in the garden. This week the children will collect and examine Coneflower seed pods and plant beet seeds.
In Music we will practice rhythms with sticks and dance with shakers to "Amarain" by Amr Diab, a wonderful Egyptian song with an interesting beat.
