Mrs. Wishy Washy Day!

Activities for Mrs. Wishy Washy include:
1) Hear the story, Mrs. Wishy Washy by Joy Cowley

2) Independently read a Mrs. Wishy Washy reader 
3) Identify the characters and setting in the story as well as describe the mud that the animals are covered in.

4)  Cleaning our classroom like Mrs. Wishy Washy!
The kids will wear Mrs. Wishy Washy's headpiece so they can scrub our classroom like she does to the farm animals. The kids will get aprons to wear and plenty of water to use in order to get the job done! Here's the chant they say to help squeeze the excess water out of the rag: Wishy washy, wishy washy, shake-shake-shake...

~Bring back the UFLI homework tomorrow!

Math: The Nickel
We will focus on the nickel today.
Naming the coins and telling their value can be tricky for some kids. Keep exposing your kids to coins so they learn their names and values!

The preschoolers from a different section are visiting our classroom at 1:15 this afternoon. Again, our agenda will be:
~Read Pete the Cat: Rocking in my School Shoes and have them make Pete the Cat and color his shoes.
~Answer questions about kindergarten.
~Explore the classroom.
~Receive a crown to take home.
