Week of April 1, 2019

Our week was full of silly characters!  We read and sang lots of silly books and songs.  We also painted in a very silly and unusual way.  Our masterpieces are drying in our classroom and should be ready to come home on Monday.  We also practiced our writing and creativity skills in a very silly and unusual way... in Shaving Cream!  Oh it was SO FUN!!

We worked on our gross motor skills by having some more Silly Dance Contests as well as learning and dancing to a new silly song called "Old Sock Stew!"  Oh, and did your silly little one mention our Silly Sock Scavenger Hunt?  It was such a silly week!!!

We learned about boats this week with a special focus on sail boats.  We also made some scientific predictions about sinking and floating and had so much fun experimenting with different objects to test whether they would sink or float.

It is so hard to believe that we are already in April!  We will be wrapping up our Transportation Unit in the next couple of weeks and shifting gears to our new STEAM Unit on the Life Cycle.  We will also be focusing on our last major shape of the year, the rectangle, as well as focusing on the end of the alphabet with some pretty tricky letters, Uu, Vv, and Ww this month.

If you haven't done so already, please send in your payment and order form for The Land of Make Believe Trip.  A couple of families already spoke to me about not being able to attend.  If you haven't spoken to me and do not plan on attending, please let me know as soon as possible so we can finalize our plans.

We are also in the process of planning our PreK-3 Graduation in June.  Once I have a confirmed date and time I will let you know asap so you can plan accordingly.
