Today

Dear Parents,

This week is sailing by very quickly.  On Monday we started a two session art project with Ms. Wendy.  Students practiced cutting out shapes and matching marker colors to paper colors.  She also had some really neat textures to put under our paper.  The students thought it was fun to feel the bumpy surfaces and see the difference it made on their paper. 

We are continuing our talk with our body parts.  Tuesday morning Ms. Susan came in a led a fine motor group.  Students first identified parts of their body by putting stickers on.  Then they created a giraffe to go along with our book.

Talking about our bodies is a great time to also work on making patterns with our bodies.  Students are practicing AB patterns by first clapping and then stomping then clapping then stomping.  This is also something you can your student do at home.

As the weather cools off make sure to put your student's name in their jacket.  Between the time they take their jacket off when they come in and put it on to go home Mr. Mike and I forget who is wearing what.
