Classroom News!
We started our unit on Ocean Life and read a variety of books with a particular focus on whales. The children learned facts about humpback whales and how they live. During Math we counted numbers using all our senses and explored pattern block shapes and their characteristics. In LA we read a book called "Chrysanthemum" and we talked about our names and nicknames. The children each decorated their first initial with collage materials and shared some of their favorite things to do.
