It finally feels like Spring but I don't think it is going to last long! :( I can't believe next week is our last week before Spring Break! We have learned so much this year and it feels like it is going by so quickly. I am very proud of the progress everyone has made! Next week we will be finishing up our nursery rhyme unit and working on the last letter of the alphabet, Z. Here are our plans...

Monday: The students will be making musical instruments with paper plates and beans. They will also get the chance to work on the computer and play in the sensory table. Ms. Shelly will be in to work with the students as well.

Tuesday: The class will be tracing the letter Z, working on a Jack be Nimble activity, and mixing paint. Since Spring will have officially started, we will be making butterflies to hang in the room.

Wednesday: Students will get the chance to do a Jack and Jill color, cut, and paste activity. They will also make flowers with their hand prints and do a Z cut and paste. The students will get the chance to work with play dough as well.

Thursday: We will be making Little Boy Blue puppets, creating zany art, and working with water in the sensory table. The students will also get the chance to review their alphabet with a bean bag toss game.

Friday: We will be painting on the easel, working with play dough, and working on the computer. Ms. Jacki will be in to work with students as well.
