We concluded our fairy tale unit with "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and "Chicken Little"... we had fun creating some of the characters from both stories.
Reading "Chicken Little" was a perfect time to introduce a new coping skill, called SIZE of the PROBLEM. When a little acorn fell on Chicken Little's head, he had a HUGE reaction - that reaction didn't fit the size of the problem. We began talking about little, medium and huge sized problems. We'll work on this more after break.
We talked about the words, "April showers bring May flowers" and what that means...we changed those words up a bit to create a new bulletin board for the hallway! We needed some muddy feet for our board too!
We ended the week by reading "Peter Rabbit" and talking about the author, Beatrix Potter. We love how Peter was a little bit naughty!
One of our parents gave our class mini whiteboards and expo markers - we have been busy writing three and four letter words, changing letters to create new words, and forming letters correctly - we love this! We even did some math!
Look at what we got to do with Mr. Ron!!
In yoga we created a story using Miss Kelly's special story cards.
Have a wonderful Spring Break next week! After Spring Break, we'll spend a few days on some rabbit and spring time activities, and then begin a new author study.
