Good Afternoon!

FARM ANNOUNCEMENT: Group B will go to the farm next Thursday, May 18th. Our rain makeup day will be Friday, May 19th. GROUP B (children aged 3 by 4/1/2017) includes Lucy, Tate, Maxwell, Rosemary, Grady, and Anna.

**For the safety and enjoyment of this farm trip, any child that did not make the group B birthday deadline is welcome to be transported and chaperoned by a parent, grandparent, or other trusted family member. Thank you for understanding that we make these farm decisions thoughtfully and with the personalities and developmental levels of our group in mind.

**We had a family donate four ‘Fairy Tales & Folklore’ tickets. It’s next Saturday, May 13 at 3:30 at the St. Joseph County Main Public Library. First come first serve so if you’re family wants them, see a teacher at pick up please Smile.

In large group, we read The Magic Hat. As we got further into the story, we noticed that some of the words rhymed.

Afterwards, we came up with a web full of jobs. Friends used their background knowledge to fill up the chalkboard. Most of the jobs that we came up with were jobs of our mommy’s and daddy’s. A few friends started sharing what they wanted to be when they grow up which spread and soon, everyone had shared!

Throughout the week, we will gain more knowledge of jobs and careers as well as the tools that people use for those jobs.

Social Studies: K.4.2 Identify and describe different kinds of jobs that people do and the tools they use.

Children explored new magnatiles that Miss Tami bought over the weekend. They are different shapes which allows children to use them in a different way. We always get excited about integrating new toys into the environment.
