Sanders’ Scribbles  

This has been such a busy week!  We are really working hard to get ready for our trip.  Sarah also brought in some caterpillars and we have been observing them as they make their transformation into butterflies.

 

Centers

To get ready for our trip, we have been building, making and researching.  Our part of the airport is the control tower.  The children have had some great ideas and we have the outside finished.  Next week, we will be making the equipment that goes inside the control tower.  We have also been making our suitcases and researching our airport jobs.

Be sure to look at the job your child is doing so that you can help them research what to do and wear for our plane trip.

 

Shared Journal

We are continuing to work on writing and drawing details in our journals.  The children have really made a lot of improvements in their writing and their journals are getting easier to read.  I am so proud of how hard they work.

 

Theme

This week at centers, the children have been doing research on airplanes and airports.  Each day at theme time, they have been presenting their research to the class.  We then added their new facts to our classroom web.  Also, we got a chance to see some real pictures from my last trip on an airplane.  We will be flying to ? on Friday.  Each child has signed up for a job.  Please look at the attached sheet so that you can help your child be ready to do their job on Friday.

 

Shared Reading

Tuesday was the 100th day of school.  So, for the first part of the week, we read books about counting and adding.  We also made 100 day necklaces with 100 beads.  To finish out the week, we read books about winter and snow.  The book The Snowy Day, gave us the opportunity to explore some interesting words.  Do you know what smacking means? We do!  We even added it to our classroom dictionary.
