This week we talked about and read about dragons! We also talked about and read about Chinese New Year - this year is the year of the dragon! The children pretended to be dragons and then played with dragons, a castle, and blocks.
For art - they blew watered down paint around with a straw.
This week was interrupted with me getting sick. I hate taking days off for sickness, because it messes up my plans. For some reason, the Tuesday group didn't get the phonics lesson for the letter Dd. Since I took Thursday off, they also didn't get the writing lesson for that letter. I'll have to use a review day to teach that letter to them. For the M/W/F group, instead of teaching the Friday lesson, I continued with my second day of the letter Dd. They were able to practice writing the lesson and they got to listen to the song - "Puff the Magic Dragon" along with a beautifully illustrated book. I also read "There's No Such Thing as a Dragon" - one of my favorites. I saved the day two art lesson for next week and instead, the group on Friday tried making snowflakes by cutting into a folded coffee filter.
Enjoy the photos and the video clip:

| Light bright - lit up this time. Putting those pegs in helps build the strength in the fingers and teaches them control |
