Our theme for the remainder of the school year is "Under the Sea". We have enjoyed learning about what goes on under water, the animals/mammals that live there, what they eat, how they live, etc. We used our classroom iPads to research our favorite underwater creature. The drawings of these creatures will go into our portfolios. Currently, we are creating our own "Under the Sea" boxes. Complete with seaweed, seashells, our favorite sea creatures, sand and other things, these boxes have been a joy to create! Be on the lookout for them soon.

Our last two letters for Sound of the Week were X and Q. Chanelle was in charge of sharing those letter sounds with the class. She found items from around the room and even printed some pictures so that we could learn all about those tricky letter sounds. The list of words we brainstormed was short in comparison to some of the ones we have made in the past, but we still tried our best and came up with a pretty impressive list.

Recently, in Math, we have begun to learn about symmetry. We learned about three different kinds of symmetry, but focused mainly on bilateral symmetry. Chanelle even drew a line down the middle of her face with a marker (washable of course) to show us an example of bilateral symmetry. We did a painting activity to help us better understand what symmetry is. We folded a piece of paper in half and painted only one half of the paper. We then folded the painted side of the paper onto the clean side of the paper, which resulted in the creation of our very own version of bilateral SYMMETRY!

We planted different kinds of seeds during Community Day a few weeks ago. When Farmer Joe let us know that it was time for harvest, we, along with our Kindergarten Friends, picked the lettuce from our PK/K garden. It was a lot of work, but we enjoyed doing it.
