Abracadabra!

We learned about an African Folk Tale called Abiyoyo. It is about magic, music, and understanding.

Mrs. Fox even performed some fun magic tricks this week!! Monday we watercolored a picture of Abiyoyo.  




On Tuesday we made a giant face by squirting paint from little droppers and then folding the paper in half  to make a symmetrical design.


We counted out strings for our ukuleles on Wednesday.


We wrapped up the week by making our very own magic wands.


Remember, we only have two days of school next week!
& 
We will NOT be sending home red folders or a newsletter next week.

A Beary Short Week

On Monday we created the head of our jointed bear. We worked on the rest of the bear’s body on Tuesday. We used our fine motor skills to place brads into each joint and open the wings of the brads. It was another great opportunity to strengthen our hands for writing and cutting.
 
 
 
 
 
We worked on position words in a bear book on Wednesday. It also helped us learn about colors and shapes. Enjoy our extra day off and have a great weekend !!!!

Math, Math & More Math

We worked really hard this week on sizing, patterning and sequencing. All of these were based on the Goldilocks & the Three Bears Story.
