Week of 9-26

Last week the students studied the letter Tt. The students ate Tootsie Rolls, Twizzlers and Trix cereal. Also, the students practiced putting on a puppet show with their own Turtle Puppets. The students loved using the puppets.
Our class had a special visitor. Students had a chance to observe a small tortise. Ms. Janet’s brought in Sully a 2-year-old Sulcata African spurred tortoise. The students were amazed at how the tortoise moved and how quickly Sully could walk. Also, the students were able to watch Sully eat. One child said that Sully looks like a dinosaur.
Today your child is taking home their Nursery Rhyme book. Please have your child read the book to you. Your student will love to sing the songs to you. 
