This week is our last week of our beginning of the year study.  Our focus questions of the week are “how do we make and keep friends?” and “how can we be part of the group?”. We are going to focus on “group activities”. One of our art projects this week will be called circle of friends in which a group of friends will make a circle with hand prints.  This is a great cooperative activity as the children need to decide on colors together and how many hands they need etc.  Our letters of the week are G and H and our math will focus on counting 0-5.

One of our books this week is the Gingerbread man.  We will be using Gingerbread Playdough (it always smells so good in the room) and making Goo together as a class.
