This week, we have begun letter T.
We will continue to talk about spring, birds, flowers, etc.
On Wednesday, we will make a flower craft.
On Friday, we will cook toast and serve it with butter, jelly, and cream cheese.

Next week is our spring celebration. Info. Should have gone home. Check your cubbies. Rain date is Wednesday the 4th. We will be making some fun Easter and spring crafts this week and next.

I hope everyone has a wonderful spring break, which starts Thursday, April 5th.

Week of March 12

This week we will begin our unit on Rainbows. You will see our classroom and hallways start to come alive with color over the next few weeks as we make colorful rainbows and welcome the spring. It is always a fun time of year.

Monday, we will learn about the letter R. We will do our dot painting activity. We will also do a small group activity of rainbow necklaces (using fruit loop cereal).

Wednesday will be our cooking day. We will be making and enjoying Rice Krispie Treats. If anyone would like to donate a bag of mini marshmallows or a box of rice krispies, please see me. Your donations are always appreciated!!! We will also be making a rainbow craft during group activity time. We will focus on what makes a rainbow, what colors we see, And the order of those colors.

Friday, we will have a special snack in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. We will make a pot of gold craft. I think the sneaky leprechaun will visit us as well!! He always seems to mess up my classroom, but he does always leave special treat behind to enjoy!! (corn pops make great gold pieces!!) The teachers Will provide green bagels and lucky charms for the children this day. It is just a small special snack, no extra items will be needed.

Have a great week.
