EDC Room 9

Dear Parents, In EDC this week we started reading "The Mitten," a story about a little boy who asks his grandmother to make him a pair of white mittens. He loses one of his mittens and it becomes a home for many different animals! Finally, a mouse crawls in onto a bear's nose and the bear sneezes, pushing all the animals out of the mitten. The little boy finds his mitten and takes it home. We are working on our pre-literacy skills by sequencing the order of animals that go into the mitten. We are exploring using our senses by playing with ice and snow in our sensory table! To continue to develop or gross motor skills, we are learning about the ways the animals in the mitten move. We hope you enjoy seeing and learning about our adventures in EDC! Kind regards, Emily Cadman

Hi Parents! We are so excited to come back to school! From January 9th-24th we will be reading the story "The Snowy Day." While reading the story, an adult is using a small doll and other objects to "act out" the activities that the main character, Peter, is doing during his fun-filled snowy day. Students will be able to use the objects to retell the story independently which helps to build their understanding of sequencing events. We are beginning to work on matching skills such as matching pictures to pictures and matching pictures to objects. Stay tuned for pictures and more details of our learning! Students will continue to build their language and communication skills through songs and visuals. We have several art activities that connect to this story, such as making a paper towel roll snowman and a winter scene. We are continuing to build our fine motor skills by practicing cutting and painting. Please continue to send your child dressed for the weather (or
