E is for an Excellent Week!

So much fun this week learning about the letter Ee and Eric Carle. We only read 3 of his many books,  The Little Cloud, The Tiny Seed, and The Grouchy Ladybug.





We sang all about the letter Ee. Ask your child if they can sing you the Ee song.

We learned how to write Upper and Lower case e's. Since we only have 3 days at school, I would encourage everyone to practice writing at home. 

We learned how to graph our favorite Eric Carle story. 

Our Eric Carle art we created. Each day we read an Eric Carle story and created special art. 




Our Eric Carle wall.

Even the weather could not keep us from learning this week!

This week has been a very interesting week! That might be an understatement. I hope that next week will be a very smooth week! Even though this week was "interesting" we still managed to learn so much! Our theme was Chicka Chicka Boom Boom,which is a very popular children's book,  and your child might be able to quote the book. We read and listen to the book on cd. The book introduces all the letters of the alphabet in a beat that can't be forgotten. 


Our special snack. A Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree. 



All our friends really enjoyed making and eating our snack. 


I just love this!!! What a fun way to learn the spelling of your name!! I saw this on Pinterest, and I just knew I had to make it with my class this year! 


We filled in another page in our color book. 


I wanted to have a really great art activity for black day, and I had a very hard time thinking of something. On our very rainy holiday, I went blog surfing  to find a great activity. I came across and idea and made it into something that would work for my class. Today, we read Miss Nelson is Missing, by James Marshall. It is a favorite in my class, and has been for years. In the above picture we had a great language development time by comaparing our class and Miss Nelson's class. 


Now, it was time to create our Miss Viola Swamp's. Black Day was a huge hit!!! Thanks to this fun little activity! 


I think it is so neat to see how different each child can create art with the same materials!

UPDATE!!!

We will begin Kindergarten at 9:00 in the morning, September 7th. Please bring something black to school tomorrow. We will have school on Thursday to make up the day we missed today. Also, please wear something black to school Thursday, because Thursday will be our black day.

Crazy Weather!

Hi everyone,
 I am writing to you from the Chick Fil A parking lot. I am without phone and Internet, but I wanted you to know the game plan. As of right now, school is on for tomorrow. Things can change quickly when the weather is involved, so make sure to check Fox 6 news for our school closing. We also go by Jefferson County. If they are closed so are we, unless you hear different. If we do have school tomorrow, I have asked Susan for  a make up day on Thursday. She said yes. After all, you are paying for it! If we do not go to school tomorrow we will make up on Thursday and Friday of this week. It is so difficult to cover everything in 3 days, but it is impossible to cover our curriculum in 1 day. Make sure to spread the news and I will be in touch. I hope to see everyone tomorrow!

Mrs. Wolfe
