YOUR WEEKLY FAVORITE NEWSPAPER
Since 2012
Creative AND Sense-ible!
I am proud to say that our kindness chain is
growing. As of Thursday afternoon, we have collected 92
chains of kindness. Kindness is spreading like wildfire and
kids are eager to let us know when their friends are being
kind.
We have been studying our 5 senses this week
indepth. Each day we have a special letter of the day and
a sense of the day. For Monday, our focus was on SIGHT.
We built towers blindfolded, played I spy, and sorted
buttons by color and shape. On Tuesday, we challenged
our HEARING with listening games, sound matching
games, and the new class favorite...books on tape. (I can’t
tell you how many times the kids asked what that „tape”
was!) On Wedesday we experienced our sense of SMELL
in many ways. We drew with scented soaps at the art
center, we wrote our names with cinnamon sticks and
played smell matching games. Thursday was all about our
sense of TOUCH. We sorted smooth and rough textures
on ordinary objects, played with CLOUD DOUGH which
Miss Nicole made in our sensory table, and felt and
guessed how many jingle bells were hiding in our
stockings! Perhaps the highlight for the kids—snack was
extra fun. We sampled the textures of applesauce,
graham crackers and... PopRocks! Friday brings on the
adventure of TASTE as we sort foods by categories like
sweet, salty, and sour.
5 Senses Song
(sung to:Bingo)
I use 5 senses every day
To help me learn and play.
See hear smell touch taste
See hear smell touch taste
See hear smell touch taste
We use them everyday.
Afternoon Adventurers!
This week the afternoon crew continued their
learning adventure with extra practice in
phonics and writing. We found out how much
fun it is to practice writing and hearing letters
and then read stories while writing our letter of
the day. We counted how many we could find.
The kids loved it. We played a STOP/GO game
on Monday for eyesight and number
recognition practice, we danced and moved to
music on Tuesday. Music class was fun on
Wednesday as we learned Jingle Bells and how
to play piano or forte. Miss Nicole taught the
kids about Dutch artist Piet Mondrian in
Thursday’s art class and the kids made
AMAZING artwork. We are looking forward to
graphing and sorting skittles on Friday as well.
It is great to have such a talented crew of kids
to challenge.

Monday was a balmy December day and
the kids played as if it were Sept!
Whole Body Learning!
Special Thanks to:
Samantha’s family for sending in snacks.
Luke’s family for sending in craft supplies
and sharing his book with us.
All families that placed a Scholastic order.
Because of your purchases, we are able to
get more books for our school!
This week we have been learning with
our bodies each day. As a way to learn
both the writing and the sounds of
letters, we are walking and moving to
the letters. Teachers model the writing
of the letters and we lay out balance
beams and blocks in our circle in the
shapes of each letter. We listen to
songs featuring the sounds of the letter
and walk our way through each one!
The kids LOVE the activity and are
asking for opportunities to both write
and move to the letters.
