The children have been asking questions about animals, their habitats, and what they eat. We will start focusing on pets this next week as we prepare for our field trip. Thoughts For The Week We had a great turn out for our Donuts and Dining with Dad!!! The kids loved sharing their meals with you and having you visit the classroom. This week we started charting what we know about animals, where they live, and what sounds they make. We will chart the pets we have, as we start learning about animals we can have as pets, how to care for them and even talk about what we will see at PetCo on our field trip. ***Home Visits are starting December 11. I have sent home a signup sheet for you to pick two dates/times that work for you for us to come visit you at home and let you know how your child is doing in school. If Fridays will no work, please let me know so we can make other arrangements. Thank you! Small Groups This week we made paper plate peppermints, worked on patterning, letter ID and sounds, and taking turns.
