Landon from Mrs. Shute’s class came in today and asked the boys and girls for 3 prayer requests. The boys and girls thought of 3 special prayer requests. Landon took our requests back to his first grade room and his class will pray for them.

During Circle Time we talked about the parts of a tooth. The children also followed along as we read a tooth poem together. They took turns identifying a word, the beginning, end, and a punctuation mark in the poem.

Reading with friends!

Eleanor was our Special Person today.

We read The Story of Ferdinand by: Munro Leaf. This is a cute story about a bull living in Spain who does not want to be a bull in the bullfighting ring. Ferdinand wants to sit under a tree and smell flowers.

The children each made their own Ferdinand the bull

The boys and girls took turns being the bull and the Matador.

The children watched a short video about bull fighting in Spain. The children saw that to be a Matador takes many years of training and is a very dangerous sport.

During Afternoon Enrichment we traveled to the country of Spain. We read a book about Spain and learned a little bit about their culture. Flamenco Dancing and Bull fighting are 2 activities found in Spain.

This week we will be talking about our teeth and how to keep them healthy. We started our science experiment a day early. We took 3 boiled eggs. We put one in a cup of water, one in a cup of coke, and one in vinegar. We will check back tomorrow to see if the hard shell of the egg (which is similar to the enamel on our teeth) has changed at all.

the boys and girls watched the Scholastic video about the importance of brushing our teeth and we read our Scholastic magazine as a group.

Morning Music Class with Mr. Showstead!

Letter Q Day! The boys and girls and to form the upper and lowercase letter Qq. We talked about Q words: quarter, Q-tip, Quaker Oats, quack, quit, quiet, quadrilateral, and quetzal. We practiced making the Q letter sound and reviewed our other letter sounds.
