Nutty Day

Today was a nutty day in 4K.  The winter animal that we talked about today was the squirrel.  The children learned that squirrels adapt in winter.  To do this they spend time in the fall gathering food.  They use the food they stored to sustain themselvesthrough the winter. At an independent center the children went on a nut hunt.  I hid acorns around the room that had letters programed on them.  When the children found a letter they recorded it on their recording sheet.  At another center the children used their fine motor skills to create a picture of a squirrel.

Since it is a short week we will be having our letter "A, a" basket tomorrow.  For the field trip on Thursday your child does not need a backpack, snow pants, or boots.
