Top Dogs News:  I is for Incredible Inventor!  This week we learned all about the letter I.  When we see Miss “I’ by herself, we know she says her name, just like when we see Miss “A” by herself.  That means, we all already know how to read two words.  Most of the time, when we see Miss “I” in a word, we know she make the short “i” sound.  Miss I had a horrible itch so she invented a back scratcher.  We even scractched each other’s back to the song, “Scratch, Scratch, Me Back” by Harry Belafonte.  Miss I also escaped and took many pieces of “music technology inventions” from our classroom.  We had to put them in order:  Bell, record, cassette tape, CD and i-phone.  Too bad we couldn’t find an 8-track!  We also talked about how a lot of listen to music on our Alexa’s now. 🙂  It’s Incredible how inventions pop up every day!

Cool Cats News- The Cool Cats enjoyed new toys in the center room and reading books about Fall and Leaves during this short week.

Each week we enjoy Music and Movement on Fridays instead of Art. We use instruments and props like drums, rhythm sticks, and scarves to practice basic music principles.  We also have fun moving our bodies with things like obstacle courses, ABC Movement Cards, and the Parachute.

Playful Bunnies News- I is for ice cream!!! It was so great to have the bunnies back after the break. We had a fun short week of ice cream fun. We did a felt play with ice cream, puffy painted ice cream cones, counted ice cream scoops, and tasted ice cream and graphed what we tasted. What a fun week!!!
