Fun at the zoo!

Hi Parents!

We had such a fun week! We finally got to go to the zoo on Tuesday. It was so much fun. We saw penguins, reptiles and snakes, elephants, zebras, camels, pumas, raccoons and storks. It was fun, but tiring. We walked around for hours with no breaks, except our lunch break. I was so happy to see everyone's lunch - extremely healthy, with little or no junk food!!!

We finished the letter 'Dd.' The new vocabulary words we learned were - dog, desk, doll, duck, door, deer, dime (American money) and dinosaur.

We are going counting-crazy in Math. We counted 6, 7 and 8. We counted and circled groups of 6, 7 and 8. We worked on 3 color and item sequences, most of them did great.

We are reading 'I like to hop.' In the story, it emphasizes the phonograms -op and -ot. We also reviewed -an, -ap, -at, -ig and -it. They are getting better at sounding words out.

Science is a lot of fun for them. We are learning about insects. So far, we've learned that some insects cam fly and some can't. The ones that can fly are - butterfly, bee, dragonfly and fly. The insects that cannot fly are - lady bug, beetle and tarantula (big spider).

Have a great weekend,
Teacher Leanne
