This week we learned about friendship and ways to be a good friend. We read many stories to show a variety of roles in social situations. The stories we read this week centered around the book, The Rainbow Fish. 

Centers

Language Arts- Picture and letter sort. 

Math- The children played a fishing game where they picked a number and had to feed their fish to correspond with that number. Also, the children created their own word problem stories practicing the skills of subtraction and addition.  They enjoyed telling me their creative stories as well and challenged me to solve them!

Art- This week the kiddos made two art projects focusing on friendship characteristics.  Using colorful tissue paper, they made a rainbow fish similar to the one in the story.  The children each shared one good trait about another friend.  

Next, the children practiced their fine motor skills cutting out petals to make a friendship flower.  On the petals, they wrote or dictated what being a good friend looks like. 

Fine motor- Weaving and cutting exercises

 Music

P.E- The children are practicing a variety of skills (tumbling, balancing and core strength) getting ready for their upcoming Palio Show on Friday, March 17.
