Nine Weeks

Our Week in Review:

We continued to learn some basic facts about the regions of France and we voted to visit the Loire Valley first. We are getting very excited about our trip! We also began learning about airplanes and airports. In centers, we worked to finish our shape monster books as well as creating a project book page with a map of France. We also worked on completing our assessments for the checklist. In shared reading, we read old favorites and focused on initial sounds in words. Our new books were about fall. Today, we went to the airport! We enjoyed learning about all of the jobs at the airport. We got to climb up in an airplane and see the cockpit! We visited a hangar and pretended to work on the ground crew. We cant wait to share pictures with you!
