The week of Mimi the Mouse!

This week we learned all about the "M" sound, by learning the "Mimi the Mouse" song and writing our own "M" poem too! We have been making predictions as we read, and we are developing some great writing strategies in Writer's Workshop! In science we learned all about insects, including the life cycle of a moth and the parts of an insect. We can't wait for the in-house field trip next week, when we will have real scientists leading experiments. Check out our photos to see the skills we are building in math centers!

During calendar our calendar helper leads a month song, counts the days, writes the date, and finds the correct cards for today, yesterday, and tomorrow by looking at the beginning sounds.
