Music with Marcy on Monday. We also celebrated Hayden's birthday in school with a special birthday treat and a visit from Hayden's mommy. Happy Birthday Hayden!
A visit from Greenburgh Nature Center brought us a lizard, a corn snake and a ferret. The lizard's name is Azure because he has a blue tongue. The corn snake can't hear but feels vibrations and the ferret sleeps for 18 hours at a time! The fours listened carefully and were very gentle when touching the animals.
The Fours are flying off into space! In anticipation of our visit to the planetarium on March 6, the fours made a list of what they know about the sun, the moon and the stars. It was interesting and fun to see how much the fours know and we look forward to learning more when we visit the Hudson River Museum in March. We will also be doing a workshop on the effects of light in art and creating our own artwork. Watch your cubbies right after vacation for permission slips and more details.
We have been spending the week working on our letters and numbers
through the use of manipulatives. We used play dough to make letters
and played number games showing one to one number correspondence.
Each day when the children go to the snack table, they are given a letter
or number that they match to the same letter or number at the table and
then tell their friends at the table what card they have matched.
Thank you to Sue Malat and Arin Gornstein for working so hard at making Pizza and Play a success, so that we could have new learning toys that we ordinarily would not have had. We appreciate it, and love the new toys that you so generously donated to the school.!
We hope everyone has a fun and safe vacation.
Shabbat Shalom,
Joyce and Tara
