April 5th Edition of
The K/1 Class News
Hello families, I hope you all had a good break. It is nice to feel the beauty of spring all around us after a long winter.
Tuesday was our first day back and everyone was happy to see each other. Naturally, there were some readjustments to the school routines needed and there were quite a few tired kids by the end of the day.
We are excited to see our pea shoots have started poking up in the garden! We look forward to learning more about gardening in the coming weeks and will be taking part in a local pumpkin project!
We so lucky to have Mrs. Cheryl teaching us Powwow dancing! She has been dancing since age 6 and is an excellent teacher. The kids all love to groove.
We continue learning about the moon in science, comparing weights in measurement and have now just started learning about the development of chicks! Thanks to Gemma’s family and a few others’, we have 26 chicken eggs set in our incubator and look forward to our hatch due on April 23rd! We will learn all about the life cycle and development of these cute creatures!
There will be a lot of events between now and the end of the year. Please be sure to check your child’s planner for permission slips and notices and keep an eye on the school website.
Are you interested in volunteering? We still need volunteers for our trip to the Fire Hall on April 24th and the library needs helpers to run our scholastic book fair on April 23rd.
