Newsletter for Week of October 19th

Peek at the Week

  • The ULS unit theme this month is Life Science and the unit topic is Pets.  We have been reading and singing about different animals. Our story this week was The Best Pet Ever by Victoria Roberts. In this adorable book, a little girl uses her imagination as she makes a rock, glove, candy wrapper, and balloon into the best pet ever….for a day of two. In the end, her mom surprises her with a kitten.
  • We made pet rocks, practiced animal patterns, did writing activities about pets, sorted pets and zoo animals and did 1-1 counting correspondence activities with animals.
  • We had a real bird visit our classroom this week. The staff thought it was cool, the kids, not so much.
  • Our letter this week was the letter E
