Transportation - Ambulances and Airplanes

I hope everyone had a nice, long weekend. It was a very short week, but packed with fun!

We are continuing to learn about transportation!  This is one of the students favorite units!  Our interactive reading book for the week was All Around the Busy Town?  They all love that the books provide interactive pictures that match to pictures in the book, encouraging attention and participation.  We watched a short video and tried to identify all the sounds we hear with vehicles.  See you can identify all the transportation sounds with your child.


We are still continuing to count in math by practicing counting by rote and 1:1 correspondence (touch and count) through fun large group activities and reinforcing math tubs. We have been counting and jumping when we roll a large dice.  It has been such a fun week listening to everyone jump and count at the same time. 

This past week we in music Ms. Erin taught us how to share and take turns with our music instruments.  We had to follow directions and take turns sharing all the neat toys.  We played maracas, claterpillars, egg shakers, rain sticks and cabasas!  It was loud and fun.

A huge thank you to all the support for the food donations sent in to help support or local charities.  We thank you for your generosity! 


As a reminder, ECS was challenged for each family to collect 25 box tops and send them in during the month of February.  If every student brought in just 25 box tops each, we would collect over 20,000 box tops in just one month, which would be more than $2,000 dollars.  We also encourage everyone to ask extended family to collect them as well.
