April 10th Edition of
The K/1 Class News
Hello families, here are a few highlights from our week.
The class was very excited to “candle” our chick eggs to see how they are developing. At day 5, we could see veins, a small red dot (the embryo) and an air sac. So cool! Everyone has made estimations on how many chicks will hatch out of 12. Guesses range from 1 all the way to 12. Let’s hope it’s on the higher end.
Our class was asked by Byron Farm to be a part of a pumpkin growing project! We will be planting pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin patch we visited in the fall and will then return the plants to be grown for this year’s crop! A great way to observe the life cycle and perhaps see them full size when we go back next school year!
Lyrics for the "Ring Around the Roses" song were sent home. Please practice with your child. We will be dressing up as flowers for the play. Would anyone like to come in and help make paper flower head pieces?
We continue learning about measurement and are focusing on comparing sizes. We have also added in simple addition (and subtraction for the grade 1’s).
