Dear Parents,
Thank you for the family photos that
you have sent. We have been taking turns
showing our family photos to our friends.
Some of us could tell who the people in the photos were, while others preferred
to look at the photos by themselves.
Last
week we continued our discussion on people in our family. We talked about grandfathers, grandmothers,
aunts and uncles. Unless it was one’s
aunt or uncle, most of us found it rather hard to identify pictures of aunts
and uncles as they look similar to fathers and mothers. Grandparents were of course easier to
identify. In the math centre, we sorted
and matched pictures of family members.
In the art centre we glued family member dolls that we had made earlier
on our house picture which we will be putting up on the board in front of our
classroom.
Last
week we also talked about rooms in the house.
We started with the bathroom.
After looking at pictures of items found in the bathroom, we visited our
own bathroom and talked about using the toilet.
We then talked about keeping clean and taking care of our teeth. We learned how to brush our teeth, and will
be practicing a few more times before we return the toothbrushes. We also learned how to wash our hands
properly. We learned that we needed to
wash all around the hands including the fingers. We also learned that we only
need one piece of paper towel when we dry our hands. In the art centre, we did
toothbrush painting. Instead of using a
paint brush to paint our tooth shape paper, we used a toothbrush. Did you see
our “apple teeth?” We made it in Cooking
while we visited the kitchen. Some of us couldn’t resist but eat a few pieces
of apple before starting to make the “apple teeth” while the ones who love
marshmallow tried to put lots of marshmallow on the apple till there was no
more space. While in the kitchen we looked at different cooking utensils and
equipment. After we made our “apple teeth”, we learned to take responsibility
in taking care of our materials by helping to wash our own plates.
Because
of the rain last Tuesday we had to cancel water play. In the future, if the weather does not
permit, the children’s swimsuits will be kept at school, and we may then move
our water play to another day in the week.
Please inform one of the teachers when your child cannot swim so we can
explain clearly to your child the reason he/she cannot swim.
This Week
This week we will start to talk about our feelings. We will be looking at different kinds of
feelings whether it is happy, sad, angry, surprise, tired, scared. Along with being able to identify different
feelings, we will also talk about how we can cope with these feelings.
Warm Regards,
Ms. Marizon
