Sky Class: Castles, Stories, and Letters... Oh My!


Castles, Stories, and Letters... Oh My!

It all started with a block structure...





... and then the Sky Class had castles on the brain!









"Get some more blocks, please."

"Yes, your Majesty."











There was even storytelling with castles!




Writing Practice Continues...

This week the children practiced forming letters with their fingers using the textured letter cards.



The arrow at the top guided them on where to start 
(next to Smiley, of course!).




Then they discovered something interesting 
about the cards...

 ... if you flip them over, they have pictures and if you match the cards, the alphabet will be revealed in order!




The children were seeing letters everywhere!



Meanwhile in the Studio...

Printmaking


The children made Valentine cards using their paintings from the Studio. They learned to make the shape of the heart using two half circles and a rhombus.


Also around the Sky Class...

The Spot It! game.



Each day the Sky Class gets a turn 
to play with the morning worship story.


Every morning the children play Alphabet Soup and then count how many letters are in each color group. 



When they count the letters, they try to arrange them in different ways. This helps them to see, for example, 

7 as 7+0...



... or 3+1+3!



The Sky Class also had a special guest this week: Mrs. Sanders who came to read her birthday book to the class.



Finally, the Sky Class had Activity Time 
with the Trees Class in their room this week. 

Thanks for inviting us over, Trees Class!
