Hello TK Families,

We have been busy in our classroom! Here is a glimpse of our week...

Theme - The Ocean - Last week we learned about coral reefs, jellyfish, and sea turtles. Students made paper maché fish which they will paint this week. Tomas, a Drake soccer player, came to talk to our class about life in Australia. We have been reading lots of books about the ocean and gathering facts about ocean animals.

Math - measuring - We measured the length of lion’s mane jellyfish tentacles. Have your child describe how long they are (hint - we measured on the back playground).

Handwriting - Students practiced letters Mm and Hh in their handwriting books.

Snack and Sharing - Thank you for the snacks last week!  Sharing this month is to bring something about the ocean.
