This week in Phonics/Language we will begin to practice narration with The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Anderson. The children will practice writing the letter L on their little chalkboards and sort objects beginning with K and L into letter tubs.
In Nature/Science we will read Changes and A Snowy Day as we learn about the seasons and the weather. The children will visit the garden and we will play “I Spy” as we observe changes in our environment. We will also begin to learn about rocks and minerals, and the children will practice sorting rocks in Science Center.
In Bible we will read from Genesis 37 and learn about Joseph and his coat of many colors. We will also read about Moses and act out the story about baby Moses from Exodus 2. The children will paint a coat of many colors and create a picture of baby Moses by matching colors to color words. The children will also review facts about Egyptian Life by matching Egyptian stickers and placing them in the correct places.
In Music the children will “ice skate” together as they listen to Nocturne No. 8 in D Flat Major by Chopin. We will also practice “Little Snowflakes” with rhythm sticks.
Please be sure to send a warm jacket each day (our first recess is at 10:30 each morning). Also, please place a snack in your child’s box each morning for snack time.
