THE THEATER!
Oh how I love the Dramatic Play Center!!
The kids were so excited to come into class to see a new dramatic play center!
Allowing children to play with puppets helps develop language and communication skills, creativity, and encourages reading comprehension when retelling stories.
What FUN we are having with our Puppet Theater!

"Katy No Pocket" by Emmy Payne
The kids LOVED this book!
It was such a FUN book to retell with Puppets!
By asking questions such as What happened first? Next? Last? Your child's comprehension skills will increase. Try asking questions along the way when reading aloud to your child. Then when the story is finished, ask more questions!
Images from the book, helped us figure out what happened first, what happened in the middle, and what happened at the end!
The students used different voices while retelling the story. It was so much fun to see them really get into the story!
Encouraging Emergent Readers to retell stories increases their comprehension and other reading strategies.
There's a Doctor in the House!
I take comfort
in knowing that my child will stay put where I leave him and knowing he is
safe. Therefore, at Red Rooster Academy, our “field trips” come to us!
We were so excited to have
Dr. Penrod from Art City Family Medical Center come for our first “in-house”
field trip! He was FANTASTIC with the kids!
Each
child brought their favorite stuffed animal and Dr. Penrod taught the kids what
each of his Dr. Tools is used for. He let them hold the tools and use them for
a great hands-on learning experience! 
He
taught us about the importance of taking care of our bodies, and making them
strong by eating good foods and getting enough sleep by going to bed when our
parents tell us to!! He talked about making sure we got enough exercise and limiting
the amount of sweets we ate each day and also the amount of TV we watch.
He
also *gasp* gave each one of our stuffed animals a shot and let each of the
kids put a special band-aid on their animal's arm to make them feel better.
To
top the day off, he showed us what would happen if we broke one of our bones
and put a cast on one of our friends' arm!
THANK YOU DR. PENROD!!
COLORS COLORS COLORS!!!
Over the
past few weeks, we have been exploring our Primary and Secondary COLORS!!!
"Sorting" helped us distinguish the difference between the colors.
We became
“scientists” and began experimenting by mixing colors.
We made predictions before
mixing …. there were many great ideas. Some thought that when we mixed the colors, it would become a RAINBOW! Even though some of our predictions were incorrect, were were not disappointed in our results!
We made sure to document our discoveries as our investigation continued throughout the week!
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its
beauty
On the days you are feeling
blue.
