Mrs. Rachel's Three's Class: Celebrating Friendship! (Threes)

We enjoyed another fun week in our class! We combined a few themes this week, focusing on how God made everyone in the world to be unique and different and how He wants us to all show kindness to one another. We celebrated friendship in our class and spent the week talking about how we can be kind friends to one another. We truly have so many sweet friends in our class! Since we won't be at school on St. Patrick's Day, we also learned some about St. Patrick's Day and incorporated rainbows and shamrocks into our activities for the week!

We read a variety of books to go along with our friendship theme this week, including How Do Dinosaurs Stay Friends, That’s What Friends Do, Whoever You Are, and We Share Everything. We played several fun shamrock games to practice writing our numbers and letters. Everyone is really progressing with both of those skills! To go along with our St. Patrick's Day theme, we made Fruit Loop rainbows and dot marker rainbows! We even made a rainbow in a jar and did a rainbow science experiment in milk! We also enjoyed a fun friendship matching game and work with our letter of the week (letter X).

We learned through several crafts this week as well! Everyone created a cardboard cutout of themselves to hang out on our classroom bulletin board with their friends. We joined these "friends" hand in hand and discussed how we could all be good friends to one another. We also enjoyed making a friendship quilt with our hand prints to show how we can all be kind to one another.

We continue to do a great job in the green room! This week, we added in a little fun with our letter rainbow! We stomped and jumped on each letter as we said its name and sound. We also danced and leaped like Leprechauns!

See if your child can do the following from this week...

1. Write the letter X and tell you the sound it makes.

2. Write their first name and tell you each letter.

3. Tell you something fun about St. Patrick's Day.

4. Describe two ways they can be a kind friend.

5. Say this month's Bible verse (Matthew 4:19).
