What are We Learning

Literacy: We will learn about the letters M, N, O, and P with Zoophonics. We will meet Missie the Mouse, Nigel the Night Owl, Olive the Octopus, and Pee Wee the Penguin. We will continue to review all the letters we have learned this year as well. 

Math: The children will measure shapes, count mermaids, fish for numbers and lace numbered octopus legs with beads. We will also walk a Pirate’s Plank with numbers. 

Physical: For Fine Motor the children will trace shapes, lace noodles and make an octopus with playdough. For Gross Motor we will do One Minute Movements, walk the number line, and go through an obstacle course.

Science: The first week we will be introduced to our Five Senses. The children will paint with Jell-o water for scent, make sound tubes for sound, mix colors on the light table for sight, feel different textures, and taste lemons. We will also have Dr. Lang visit to talk to us about Dental Health.
Social/Emotional: We will be graphing if we like lemons, and asking play Octopus Stew with letters, and answer our “Yes/No” weekly questions. We will also graph if we like popcorn.
