This week we learned letters Dd & Pp. We read poems about shapes, looked for shapes around the classroom, and on the playground. We made shapes in shaving cream, and using licorice. We also loved using shapes to create pictures. This week we worked with colors, too. We read White Rabbit’s

Color Book and used paint to make all the colors of the rainbow. Pete the

Cat: Rocking in my School Shoes was another favorite. We took pictures of our school shoes and made it into a class book where we have to guess

each other’s shoes. Another favorite activity was using red, yellow, and blue

play dough to make new colors. This introduced us to the addition sign, the

equal sign, and the concept of equations.
