Week of April 23 Hello everyone, I hope all of the children told you what a great time we had celebrating earth day. They really did a great job decorating the garden and I think they enjoyed the "cup of dirt" snack :) Well, we are getting close to the end of the alphabet!! This week we will focus on letter v. On Monday, we will do our letter V review and dot painting. I am sure you can all see the big difference in dot painting work that is coming home now as compared to the beginning of the year. We have really tuned our fine motor skills with this project!! On Wednesday, we will work on math and shapes skills though a kite shape project. On Friday, we will be doing a fun vegetable project. We will be painting with veggies!! We also will "cook" a veggie smiley face snack. I will be posting a sign up sheet outside the classroom for our letter v food day. There are a variety of vegetables that we will need so please, if you can, sign up to bring something to our class on Friday for this fun project. Thanks in advance for your support. As always, please contact me with any questions!!

Week of April 16th

I hope everyone had a wonderful spring break!!

Yesterday, we learned about the letter U. We also discussed Earth Week. We are celebrating this entire week. We discussed ways we can help the earth and keep it clean.
On Wednesday, we will begin our Earth Day project, which involves making our outside play area more beautiful! We will be painting some garden stones so that on Friday, we can place them outside in the garden.
On Friday, we will clean up the outside playground and be the "Planet Police". We will look or garbage to pick up and beautify our yard!

We will not be cooking on Friday because I really cannot find an appropriate recipe for letter U. We will, however, have a special snack in honor of earth day.

We will, however, be making some recycle art. Please send in some clean, enpty, recyclables. Examples are empty water bottles, toilet paper rolls, empty and clean yogurt containers, etc. We will use them to paint beautiful pictures. You can begin sending these on Wednesday and continue on Friday. We will need them by Friday morning. Ideally, it would be great to have one item per child.

Thanks and have a great week.
