Large, Medium or Small Clothing

HOW DO WE TAKE CARE OF OUR CLOTHES? 

This week we learned that our clothes need to be taken care of and when they are dirty we need to wash them. Our letter of the week fit right in with this lesson. Letter D is for DETERGENT!! Our focus question on Monday was - Which soap will make more bubbles: liquid, power or bar soap? The class used liquid detergent, powdered detergent and a large bar of soap to find out which one would give us more bubbles. After we determined that our powder and liquid made the same amount of bubbles it was time to wash clothes. The sensory bin was the place to be this week!

HAS ANYONE SEEN GOLDILOCKS? 

This story is a hit with the class. After I read the book we took turns sitting in a large, medium and small chair. Everyone was shocked to find out that Goldilocks ate all of baby bear's porridge. We decided to try some porridge ( cream of wheat ) and see if we liked it. Almost everyone liked it!

ORDER BY SIZE- HAND WRITING WITHOUT TEARS 

Young children practice spatial reasoning by ordering objects from largest to smallest. I gave the children bears to put into groups by size. After the bears were grouped by size the children had to tell me which group had the most bears. As your child places objects in order by size they are being prepared for more complex math skills.

"INTELLIGENCE PLUS CHARACTER -THAT IS THE GOAL OF TRUE EDUCATION" 

Today your child learned a little about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The children may be too young to fully understand everything Dr. King represented, but we as human beings are never too young to show love and compassion for each other.
