What a busy week! We began our week with a field trip to the fire station and to Chappy's Deli. The fire fighters taught us many safety tips and let us explore througout the station. We especially enjoyed the fire trucks! Chappy's was great too. We were able to tour the kitchen and the big walk - in freezer. We also enjoyed a delicious Chappy's meal. Thanks again to those of you who drove and chaperoned for our field trip. We couldn't do it without you! Take a look at the pictures to see a few of the other activities we enjoyed in our class this week. We practiced "building" letters with our magnetic letter pieces as well as with playdough. Other activities you will see are fun with numbers, cutting practice, and exploring letters and sounds on the computer. Afternoon center time is fun too. A class favorite is "Mr. Potato Head". Next week we will review the letters and numbers we've learned and begin a unit on apples. Ask your child to tell you all about it each day. Please notice the "Alphafriends" take home books your child is bringing home. There is one for each letter we learn. As we review this week, please follow up at home with the activity on the "family involvement" page in each booklet.
