The Harralson Blog

For St. Patrick's Day, we made lemon lime play dough with koolaid and used magnets to build words.  We have been working on beginning and ending blends.  Here is the recipe we used in case you want to experiment at home.  We LOVE working with play dough!

If you are looking for an activity at home, boil some spaghetti noodles and let them cool down.  If you want to get creative add some food coloring to your water.  Your child will love it!  You can build words with noodles using beginning blends.  For instance; bl (black), cl, fl, gl, br, cr, dr, etc.  This could be another way to build sight words.
Don't forget about Math Night this Thursday from 5:30pm to 6:30pm.  I hope to see you there!
In Science, we are learning about gravity.  I'd love to know what your child tells you - ask them to explain what gravity is and how it is different on the moon.  You will be amazed at their answers.  We are really enjoying our new Science curriculum.
Be on the lookout for a brown paper bag coming home on Monday.  We are working on adjectives and we have a fun activity that we are doing as a group.  A note will be attached to the bag to explain the directions.  Thank you for your help!Reminder:  Spring Break is April 4th - April 8th
