Classroom News from Miss. Ali and Miss. C- January 19th 2009

This week we began our unit on Wildlife! We will continue this unit through next week as well!

On Tuesday, January 20th we practiced the letter "D" in our Handwriting Without Tears workbooks. We also made a silly paper plate monkey face and talked about the different species of monkeys and what they like to eat.

On Wednesday, January 21st we reviewed the number "7" and also began practicing the number "8." We also made creepy crawly snakes using paper plates!


On Thursday, January 22nd we went over objects that didn't belong on our language arts worksheets. The children had to identify what was wrong with the row of pictures they saw..( I.E. 3 school buses and an airplane, what doesn't belong?) We also made a frog collage and illustrated a habitat for our 5 froggy friends! We enjoyed drama with Mr. Michael and acted out a book where we had to become different animals. The children also refreshed Mr.Michael's memory with a name game!


On Friday, January 23rd we made a silly picture of a mouse eating some cheese. We also drew where we thought our mouse could live. We ended our week with some songs and dancing at Shabbat!
