We will be returning back to the curriculum this week and will be in week 2 of our ball study.

This week we will be painting with balls, strengthening our fine motor by putting pipe cleaners into plastic golf balls, in sensory table we will be doing  sink or float experiments all week. We will have our own skee ball set up in dramatic play and will be keeping score. Our letters this week are U and V.   It is that time of year when  sign ups for recreation leagues begin.   The students get really excited as we expose them to many of the sport and balls they will be using on their teams.

BALLS!

BALL STUDY WEEK #1.

This week is our introduction to Balls.  We will be reading two stories, Play Ball and Bounce.  Both explore the subject of balls and how they are used in our daily lives.  See how many varieties of balls you have in your own home and we will see if your student can tell us about them when they come to school on Monday. Encourage them to identify their favorite kind of ball.

We will graph our favorite balls, see how many times they bounce and determine which ones are big and small.  Out letters for the week are Q and R. Encourage our child to practice writing their letters at home and remind them that we always start at the top of the page when beginning our letters.  We call it the skyline. We will be patterning a variety of balls for math.

PM class:  This week Miss Abela will visit us on Monday and talk to us about our up coming field trip to The Music Settlement.  We will hear about Dance stories with the Inlet Dancers.  This is a fun trip as the students get to dance with professional dancers and see what and how it feels to move in different ways.
