Week 17 Update

Time is flying! It is February already and we have a very fun month ahead. Next week is International Week and our class will be representing Italy! The children will learn about this country's language, food and culture. On Thursday, we will have a small party featuring Italian music and food. If you would like to bring something in, please let me know! It would be appreciated!
In Language Arts this week, we read the book "A Zebra's World". The children enjoyed relating to the book as it is about growing up and becoming independent. At the end of the book, the mommy zebra has another baby- something many of the children can relate to! 
Many favorite toys and stuffed animals were shared during show and tell. I will try to have show and tell every week as the children look forward to it. 
In Math, we learned a lot of new vocabulary for 3D shapes such as cylinder, sphere, cone, cube, and rectangular prism. We will continue Chapter 6 next week.
In Science, we discussed how rocks can be different colors, shapes, sizes, and textures. We looked at a few rocks and compared them.
A general reminder that jackets should be labeled with your child's name. Sometimes these names come off when washed. Please re-write them. 

Thank you Parents!
