Dear Parents,
We have been very busy wrapping up our projects that will be displayed at our Kindergarten Museum next week. We hope you are able to visit our museum on Wednesday from 8:30-9:15am to see some of the children’s amazing art work! Admission is one penny! Each Kindergarten classroom will be a different exhibit room. One room will have all the students’ portraits, one will have Egyptian art, one will have contemporary art, and the other two rooms will be full of the students’ impressionist artwork. It’s all going to look amazing! The students have much to be proud of!
Our focus this past week was on Egyptian art. I brought in pictures and some artifacts from my trip to Egypt a few years ago and the students made pyramids, mummies, and even wrote their names in hieroglyphs. They enjoyed learning about animal mummies and Egyptian pharaohs. The only projects we have left to work on now are our animal sculptures and junk art!
The students have enjoyed working with measurement and making comparisons in math this week. It has been a nice break from all the decomposing numbers lessons we were doing prior to that. They particularly enjoyed the lesson on capacity and experimenting to see which containers held the most water. If your son/daughter asks to play with water bottles and measuring cups in the bathtub...that’s probably why!
I have been checking the students’ sight words this week and will continue into next week too. They have shown a lot of progress! I would encourage you to continue working on these words at home. I have also been impressed with the writing prompts that have been returned and the completed reading logs! It’s encouraging for me to see that students are reading and writing at home!
Just a reminder: Book orders are due Wednesday, April 1st.
I’m looking forward to seeing you at the Museum on Wednesday. Don’t forget your pennies!
Melanie Duncan
