March Blog
March Blog During the month of February, we focused on understanding needs versus wants, communicating our needs and wants, and practiced doing jobs that earn money (then buying the things we need/want). We had a bakery in the classroom and a housekeeping set up. In the housekeeping area, students practiced doing tasks we learned about in the story to earn money. Students washed dishes, swept the floor, cooked, folded clothes, and put away their nap mats. With the pretend money students earned, they could buy donuts, ice cream, and cookies from each other in the bakery. We read the stories "Clarence Earns Money" and "Needs and Wants". In math we focused a lot on various shapes and continued to practice our counting. In Letterland we met Jumping Jim, Kicking King, Lucy Lamplight, and Munching Mike. In the month of March, we will be focusing on outer spaced themed things. We are starting the month learning about change, day versus night, and environmental shapes!
