Week of May 21

Well, we have made it to the end of the alphabet. Today we learn about the letter Z. The children have been very excited about getting to the end!! Here is our tentative schedule for the week: Monday, letter Z, including dot paint activity. Wednesday: The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The caterpillars have arrived and have made their home in Ms. kristy's room. We will watch them grow and change into butterflies over the next couple of weeks. We will learn the caterpillar life cycle. Butterflies will be a theme over the next few weeks as we wait for our painted lady butterflies to emerge. Friday: end of alphabet celebration. I would like to have a small celebration on Friday for reaching the end of the alphabet. If you would like to donate an item, please let me know. Specifically, I would like Alphabits cereal and scrabble cheezits. We are off on Monday and Tuesday next week for Memorial Day, and then on Wednesday, the 30th, the farmer is bringing our chick eggs. We have so much fun learning about the chick life cycle and then watching them hatch!! Finally, does anyone have a spare keyboard (USB)that you would be willing to donate? The keyboard in my classroom doesn't work. I have so many great things I like to use the computer for during the butterfly and chick themes, but I need a keyboard :( If you have one, please let me know. Have a great week!!

Week of May 7th It's hard to believe we are into the month of May! School will be over before we know it. This week, we are on the letter X. The children are getting excited as we approach the end of the alphabet. This week, we will focus on practicing our songs for the Mother's Day Tea Party. The children have been working hard learning some songs and they have a few surprises they are working on as well. We hope to see you at our tea party on Friday. I would like to share with you some of the themes that will be touched upon this month: Butterflies and caterpillars Flowers and how they grow Chick life cycle (our baby chicks will arrive on May 30th) Please contact me with any questions. Have a great week.
