In Literacy and Math the children sorted by color, shape,
number, letter and size. Our sorting frenzy will continue as we
begin looking at sorting initial sounds (e.g., box starts with
the letter B). The kids have also begun practicing invented
spelling. They must sound out the title of their sorting groups
and try to spell the word by themselves. In Science, keeping in
the spirit of both plants and recycling, we will begin making
our very own indoor compost bin! Soil, food scraps and worms
galore! We will also continue to spend time with our hermit
crabs, which have become quite popular in the classroom again.
Stay tuned! In Drama, we will tell the story, El Gallo de Bodas:
The Rooster on the Way to the Wedding. The children will be the
bossy little rooster, Gallito, who needs assistance to clean his
muddy beak after he greedily pecks at corn in the mud. In Art,
we are going to start a new printing project! In Music, students
will create ostinatos (repeated rhythmic patterns) on the guiro,
drums and xylophon
