What We Did This Week

Letter X and Z Exploration We dove into the letter sounds X and Z this week! To reinforce our lesson, our friends had a fun choice between two creative crafts: • Fox X – Crafting an adorable fox while practicing the “X” sound. • Zebra Z – Designing a striped zebra to master the “Z” sound. Science Fun: Pepper & Soap Experiment This week’s science activity taught an important lesson about germs and handwashing through a hands-on experiment. Here’s how it worked: Materials We Used: • Plate filled with water • Black pepper (representing germs) • Liquid dish soap • Curious little fingers! What Happened: 1. The Germs Arrive: We sprinkled black pepper over the water. The pepper floated, showing how germs can sit on surfaces. 2. Touching Without Soap: Our friends dipped their fingers in the water and noticed the pepper flakes (germs) sticking to their fingers. We talked about how touching our faces or mouths with unclean hands can make us sick. 3. Soap to the Rescue: Next, we dipped our fingers in dish soap and then into the peppery water. Like magic, the germs scattered to the edges of the plate! What Did We Learn? This fun experiment showed how soap changes the surface tension of water and helps wash away germs—a great reminder about the importance of handwashing!

We love reading on wednesday!
In addition to reading stories to your children, it’s also important to encourage them to practice their own storytelling skills. Today, we had a blast with our Mystery Jar activity! We filled a jar with different pictures and invited our friends to take turns selecting one. Each child then created their own story based on the picture they picked. It was amazing to see their creativity come to life as they shared their imaginative tales with the class! Encouraging your child to tell their own stories helps build language skills, boosts creativity, and fosters self-expression. Ask your star about the story they shared today!

Today we took recycle cardboard and created a rocketship to work on our movable alphabet where we worked on writing our name in a straight line using 2x2 squares in uppercase and lowercase letters.!
