Pink Room January 20, 2025
- What crazy weeks we have had! I’m so glad everyone is safe and back in our classroom. I love seeing all these little faces after three long weeks. We had a really fun week, and the kids have been excited to share their experiences with family.
- Last Week:
- Literacy: During our morning sentence, we introduced syllables! We clapped for each syllable in each word.
- Math: We have moved on to ABB patterns. The children practiced with paint, frog counters, with shapes at the light table, in the block area, and even with linking rings.
- Motor Skills: We practiced cutting skills using real butter knives and real vegetables. The children were instructed on knife safety, given a cutting board, and a variety of vegetables to cut. All the children were very careful and loved the opportunity to make vegetable soup! They did not love trying the soup. Haha!
- Health and Safety: We discussed healthy eating by reading “Showdown at the Food Pyramid” by Rex Barron. Then we took food out of our grocery store play center and sorted into food groups by Grains, Dairy, Protein, Fruits, & Veggies.
Next Week
We will learn about types of weather, and sort clothing into types we would wear in each seasonLearn about who Martin Luther King Jr. wasContinue ABB patterns

Parent Tips: Please please make sure your child has a hat and mittens everyday alongside their winter coat. We continue to go outside every day, even in colder temperatures. While we adjust times outside as needed, any amount of time outside without hats or gloves is very cold. Reminder: we use tote bags instead of backpacks. Please let me know if your child needs a new canvas tote.
