Poem of the week

A Secret

Do you know why the pine trees

Stand so straight and tall,

Spread their branches thick and fine,

And never stoop at all?

It really is a secret

Which the North Wind told to me:

Every pine tree hopes someday

to be a Christmas tree.

_____ Laura Alice Boyd

What was happening?

This week, the explorers were busy discovering all the magic about the letter of the week, the letter I. They worked very hard in tracing, coloring, matching, sounding out, and identifying the letter I.

To improve our reading comprehension, we used the book that has the title “There Was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow!” by “Lucille Colandro” to answer questions such as, “Who was the character in the story?”, “When did the story take place?”, “Where did the story take place?”, and “what was the story about?”.

Here is a picture of the book

Here is a link to listen to the story with your child.

In Math, we counted numbers, completed patterns, and learned about greater than/less than.

The explorers in room #107 continued their lessons in science. We started a unit that focuses on “Animal & Plant Secrets”. This week’s lesson was about “How can you find animals in the wood?”.

The explorers had the chance this week to meet and take pictures with Santa.

We ended this week and this school year with a Sing-A-Long ceremony 🙂
