Week 11: The Letter K

 A has really taken to kites so our theme for the week was kites of course. She really wanted to go out and fly a kite after reading about them but it was too cold! Most likely we will be able to this summer. 

The books we read this week were: Kacy's Kindergarten and the Letter K (I can't remember the authors name), The Berenstain Bears - We Like Kites, My K Sound Box by Jane Belk, A Kiss for Little Bear by Maurice Sendak. Our poem for the week was entitled "Kites":

The March wind is calling,

"Come fly your kite!"

The wind is blowing

With all its might.

The kites are tossing

In the Sky.

The wind is calling,

"Come fly up high."

For our music time we had a fun time singing Kookaburra and Let's Go Fly a Kite. (A really likes Mary Poppins so we had fun dancing around the house while we sang this song.)

For our Bible time we read about King Solomon and our Bible verse was Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind to one another."

For math we looked at diamond shapes. 

For science we had fun learning about different animals. We read two really enjoyable books about animals. The first one was A Kangaroo Joey Grows Up by Joan Hewett and the other was Red Kangaroos by Edna Eckart. We also looked at pictures of the following animals: a kookaburra, kangaroo, koala and krill. We also looked at a flower called kangaroopaw!

For social studies we learned about Helen Keller. We found a good book about her by Sean Dolan. A and E asked a lot of questions about her because there were a fair amount of pictures from when Helen Keller was younger.
