LETTER of the WEEK......."F" We talked about the importance of farm animals. We also VOTED for our favorite farm animal, Daffy Duck, Charlie Chicken, Polly Pig and Bessy the Cow. The winner was Bessy Cow. (We think it is because we get ice cream from the milk cow’s produce!) Speaking of VOTING, many of them worked on putting together a flag. Ask them how and what we can do to be citizens. We read a story about Rainbow Fish and then created our very own sparkly rainbow fish. Marcus Pfister, the author of The Rainbow Fish, wrote many great stories about being a kind and loving friend.

MATH: The number 6. What a great number. We are very busy counting and sorting.

RELIGION. We continue to talk about Mary the Mother of Jesus. What are things we can do to help each other the way Mary helps us in our daily lives. Sharing, Caring, Loving and always Forgiving.
