News From Miss. Ali, week of May 4th

This week our class talked about caterpillars and butterflies! We were all very excited to see our new caterpillar friends in our classroom. We watch them grow everyday, and can't wait for them to turn into Painted Lady Butterflies!!



On Monday, we made a silly circle caterpillar. We also started writing some big words such as, Him, Her, She, He and It! Our handwriting is looking great!!



On Tuesday, we made some beautiful coffee filter butterflies! We attached them to close pins, gave them some googly eyes and sprayed the coffee filter with a water bottle, to make the colors bleed together. We reviewed some Language Arts Worksheets as well!



On Wednesday, we made very hungry pom pom caterpillars and put them on leaves! We also did the very last page of our Handwriting Without Tears Workbooks!

Thursday, we had a fun drama class with Mr. Michael where we acted out a Dr. Suess book and learned how to be a mime! We also made some beautiful tissue paper butterflies. We did some challenging math worksheets to see if we could count by 2, 5, and even 20's!!

Friday, we had Shabbat with Cantor Carl, went outside and rode some bicycles, and made some great and creative Mother's Day Cards!!
