April 3rd Edition of
The Kindergarten 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.
Monday was our first day back and everyone was happy to see each other. Our class continues to grow! We welcomed another new friend this week.
We are excited to be getting into gardening! We had a visit from some of our garden parents who taught us about seeds and starts and we planted peas in our garden bed. We look forward to learning more about gardening in the coming weeks.
We have started learning about dance in the gym and continue to learn about health and body science.
I sent home some homework about your seasonal family traditions. This is a special project and I look forward to getting the sheets back on Monday so we can begin. Check the planner bag if you don't know what I'm talking about.
We are excited to learn about the life cycle of a duck and will begin incubating eggs next week.
Raffle tickets were also sent home in the planner bag and I hear the prizes are amazing!
The book fair browsing day is on Monday. A detailed letter was sent by Marcie.
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.
