April 20th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hello again.
The kids had another fun week, aside from the ongoing sickness going around and the freezing weather! We hope to see everyone back next week along with some more sun!
On Monday we worked on printing the lowercase letter q. We also worked on using our fingers to hear the sounds in words. Later the kids started a beautiful Earth Day art and writing piece and talked about ways to protect our planet. It was a cold and windy afternoon and we decided to do an indoor buddy activity.
Tuesday, we checked our chick eggs again and were thrilled to see movement inside the eggs! Next week is the expected hatch date. We also continued learning about measurement and had another writing lesson. This time the focus was adding labels to our pictures using the sounds they know. It was music day and our outside time was fresh and clear. The peas have started poking up through the dirt!
On Wednesday we started exploring story workshop! The focus was learning the elements of a story through a play-based setting. The class LOVED it! We also went to the library. Please remember to send back the library books each week so that your child can check another one out.
Thursday I was away. The class had free choice in the gym, continued working on writing and had a chance to share writing out through an author’s chair set up. They went to music and played in the forest.
