A love giving robot (Leila)
A carrying things robot (Jayden)
A nurse robot (Kayla)
A wood chopping robot (Milo)

A food delivery robot (Sarah)
Based on these jobs, the children drew parts of the robot that would help it do its job. Then they built these parts based on their drawing and make their creations 3D!

More Handwriting Practice!
Children focused on directionality or how to form letters. The smiley at the top orients them to start their letters at the top.

Melanie has an E in her name:
1. Big Line Down
2. Frog Jump to the top then Little Line across the top
The children have also been working on letter recognition by playing Alphabet Soup. Each child gets a couple of letters and when they hear their letter being called,
they put it into the pot!
Then they take turns counting
to see how many of each color is in the soup.
Puzzles are also fun ways to practice letter recognition!
This week the Sky Class jammed to the song that helps them remember that when they write their letter,
they all start at the TOP!
Where Do you Start your Letters? Feel free to sing at home!
Where do you start your letters? At the top!

Is this the top, top, top?
No it’s the bottom!
Is this the top, top, top?
No it’s the middle!
Is this the top, top, top?

A game of tag with Mr. Johnson in the Grassy Place.
The rules are that tagging is only tapping with two fingers and when someone is tagged, they have to freeze until someone else crawls through their legs to unfreeze them.
Guess what!? There Was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly! This became a fast favorite of the Sky Class and was often led during Rhymes and Chants by the children who remember all the animals the poor Old Lady swallowed.
Who swallows a horse!?
After Quiet Time, Ms. Kadota has some fun games planned. A fan favorite is What is Missing? that helps children sharpen their memory and visual discrimination skills.

Finally, Ms. Kadota reveals the objects
so they children can check their work.
