April 22nd Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hello again.
Hello sunshine! Everyone has enjoyed the beautiful weather this week. Please remember to send your child to school with sunscreen on and a hat if you feel they need it. We are loving the sun.
Monday was another beautiful day. We are reviewing printing numbers now to encourage proper formation. We started with the number 2. We also worked on an Earth Day inspired craft and writing piece. It was heartwarming to hear the children speak of caring for our earth. We sure live in a great community of big thinkers!
On Tuesday we started blending sounds together in our Oral Language Groups. We wrote in our journals (after a long break for our EPIC writing project) and I was so pleased at how independent the kids are now! We continue to care for our little garden and some of our peas have now sprouted!
Wednesday the kids had fun in the gym and then we learned about the different body parts of an insect. Ask your child to sing you the insect song! Later we went to the library and then made sprout houses for our window so we can observe beans growing roots and shoots. In the afternoon, we started a nature art project. We practiced drawing what we heard in nature with our eyes closed. The kids were so focused!
On Thursday we celebrated Earth Day! We also celebrated each other as authors and shared out the animal stories the kids created. Later, we worked on sight words and made handprint tulips. I met with Mrs. Lamirand in the afternoon to go over the EPIC project results and noticed how much everyone has improved in their writing! Great work.
