Circle Time: We are learning about the letter N this week. So today, we talked about noise. Children like to make loud noises, but we also found that we could make soft, quiet noises as well.
Story: The Noisy Book is the story of a dog named Muffin. Muffin gets a cinder in her eye and has to wear a bandage over her eyes until they get better. While wearing the bandage, Muffin can hear noises in the doctor's office such as the clock and the doctors sneeze. When Muffin walks home, he can hear car noises, construction noise, birds, etc. At the end of the story, Muffin hears a squeak, but can't figure out what object is making that noise. Ask your child to tell you what he discovered.
Large Group: We used the percussion instruments to make noises. We used maracas, castanets, rhythm sticks, egg shakers, and tambourines to make sounds.
Small Group: One group activity was N wet, dry, try. The other group activity was using a balance scale to measure weight. The children had a number of items to put in the scale, but first they had to guess which one would be heavier or lighter.
Snacks: The morning class had Cheez-its, apples, and juice brought by Andie. The afternoon class had apples, peanut butter, and milk brought by Madison. Thank you!
The children are bringing home notes about two end of the school year activities. Please take a few minutes to look them over. If you have any questions, let me know.
