Good Afternoon, Everyone!

It was nice seeing all the boys and girls after the long weekend. I heard that they all had a great day with Mr. R. yesterday, which makes me very happy!

Today, we started off the day with circle time. I caught up with all the boys and girls about what they did over the long weekend. Many of us were very busy this weekend and did a lot of fun things!

After, we began with our third unit of inquiry and discussed a certain animal. Let me give you all a hint: it has black and white stripes......

Do you know what animal it is?

If you guessed a zebra, you are right!



We learned that zebra's are:
1) Are mammals
2) Have black and white stripes, which are good for scaring away bugs and confusing predators like lions
3) Love to eat grass
4) Live in Africa (Where Miss H. is from and was born!!!)

We made our own zebra craft and also did tracing of the word "zebra". We watched a clip of zebras and why their stripes are important. We also worked on patterns and did some pattern activities with blocks and worksheets as well. In order to encourage our book drive, we decorated our book drive box, which will be judged tomorrow in our box-decorating contest. To prepare ourselves for spring, we put lots of pretty foam butterflies and glitter on our box. It is very,  very pretty, I must say. We also read a book about feelings and discussed different feelings that we have and what to do about them. We also acted out different feelings as well.

We had French and gym today, which both went well with the teachers.

I hope everyone has a wonderful night and I will see you tomorrow!!!

Regards,

Miss H.
