Hello Parents

This week we have been very busy as we prepare for our field trip next week. We have discussed all of the different animals (domestic vs wild, farm and pets.) Our animal rescue center continues to be a fun place to explore animals needs and take care of injured stuffies.

Our butterflies are now here! Children have been observing our caterpillars and the caterpillars have been VERY hungry. It is amazing how fast these insects grow! We expect big changes coming next week as our "young butterflies" (AKA caterpillars) have woven some silk and are looking too big for the skin they are in... The caterpillars are even pooping!! A LOT!

Math

We continue to work on number pairs to 10, as we call them "friendly numbers". You can support your child with fluency in this area by playing the hiding game with small objects or fingers. Simply hold up 4 fingers for example and ask "How many are hiding". Your child will want to count the fingers individually at first but then recognize 5 and 1 make 6 that are turned down.

Enjoy the sunshine!
