Room 7 would like to welcome 2 new PillowPets to the classroom. Rudy the dog and BuzzBuzz the bee have greatly increased the popularity of the reading corner during free choice and center time. The class has also been very good about making sure that they all get an equal number of turns.
Thank you so much to the volunteers who came with us to Junie B. Jones, The Musical on Wednesday. This much anticipated field trip was very fun and everyone had a wonderful time, despite the fact that it was a little hard to hear. We still have a few field trips on the horizon, so if you have not yet had a chance to join us, there is still time.
Our Love Around the U.S.A. unit has been a blast this week. Thank you so much to all the family and friends who sent postcards to our class. On our last count, we had collected postcards from 21 different states and 3 different countries. We will continue to read postcards into early next week, so if you still have some on the way, don't worry!
It's been a big week for Room 7! The class earned themselves their first official Fancy Lunch on Friday. Fancy Lunch can only occur when ALL the bees stay in the garden for an entire week. We are very proud. Fancy Lunch came complete with tablecloths, floral centerpieces, special napkins, special dessert, mini umbrellas, and classical music. Pictures from Fancy Lunch will be available next week.
In Math this week we have been working on Topic 12: Larger Numbers. We will still be concentrating on this unit next week along with reviewing addition and subtraction.
Also next week we will be getting loose with Dr. Seuss! In honor of the famous author's birthday, Kindergarten will be concentrating on rhyming and begin our study of word families using his iconic literature. Most of the students have already pointed out their favorite books! We are so excited!
