We had a very fun-filled, busy week! Ask your child about:
READ ACROSS AMERICA
-Cougar Studios movie assembly (movie acted by older Cambridge students)
-Taking a walking tour of the school to see how each class decorated their classroom door with a theme from the district-wide story Alice in Wonderland
-Reading Dr. Seuss books such as Green Eggs and Ham, The Lorax, My Many Colored Days, The Cat and the Hat, ABC, and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.
-Doing activities for each Dr. Seuss book such as making our own class books for Green Eggs and Ham and Dr. Seuss’s ABC, eating green deviled eggs, finger painting green eggs, designing the Lorax and trees out of tissue paper, and more (all crafts are hanging up in our classroom)
-Dr. Seuss’s Birthday Celebration consisting of reading The Cat in the Hat, decorating bookmarks, eating layered jello and whipped cream cups to resemble the cat’s hat (thanks Mrs. Chang!), playing Dr. Seuss bingo, and creating Thing 1 and Thing 2 with our hand prints (hanging up in our classroom)
DENTAL HEALTH
-Reading many books about keeping our teeth and gums healthy
-How many times a day they should brush their teeth and after how many months they should get a new tooth brush
-Looking at pictures of teeth on animals and discussing why animals have different teeth from people
-Taking a picture of their mouth so their classmates can guess whose mouth is whose!
-Using marshmallows as teeth to create our own mouth (hanging up in our classroom)
MATH AND WRITING
-Playing a penny game where students flipped a penny and graphed if it was heads or tails.
-Writing small moment stories and specifically working on making our endings more exciting rather than saying, “Then I went home.”
-Sight word work on the word “my”
-Handwriting books
-Our continuous reading books and word study sorts
