The entire week was full of learning and each day was began with a book teaching the skill for that day. We did a whole interactive week with Eric Carle. We read the books, completed activities, did crafts, and compared and contrasted the different books. We also completed a whole week of Ocean/ Beach week leading up to our kindergarten graduation. They loved having the room changed into the theme and being immersed in the topic through all aspects.
