Poem Of the week

Invitation to the Wind

Dance

with me

now

in the spring light

dance

with me under the sky.

Dance on

your

tiptoes and turn me and

whirl me and lift me

and teach me to fly!

carry me

on your wild shoulders

I’ll

catch all the petals

that spill!

Dance with me,

Wind,

you

dance

with the kites

Like you dance with those kites

on the hill!

Greetings Friends & Families:)

Our focus for this week was on letter N. The explorers were learning how to trace, identify, & choose their favorite images of the letter of the week, letter N. They created their “Letter N mini-book”, a “We Need Letter N” book, and a poster of “My favorite of letter N”. We are still learning our core word “Want” in which we are using our book “When I want”. Also, we created letter N posters from construction papers and glued small pieces of a newspaper. As you know, the word “newspaper” starts with letter N.

Story time was about “If you give a pig a pancake” book. We were examining our reading comprehension by answering questions such as, “What book did we read?” and “Who was the character in the story?”.

For this week’s math, we still working on shapes. The explorers worked on identifying, tracing, & playing with shapes figures.

Thank you so much Adam, Dante, & Lana the fourth graders from Ms. Polster’s classroom for reading part of “Wizard of Oz” book with my students this Thursday. Guys, you ROCK!

Since it is March and it is the reading month, the explorers created posters with their favorite books’ pictures, and we hang them outside our classroom on the hallway.

Finally, my explorers had a great and fun time during their visits to the Art, Gym, and Music.
