April 2, 2015 Newsletter

Dear Parents,

We were so glad that so many of you were able to make it to our Kindergarten Museum yesterday.  The students were so proud to show off their projects and the hard work that went into them.  I hope you enjoyed looking through all the projects when they came home after the museum and hope you enjoyed looking through all the pictures in my blog post.

We started our circus unit today.  This unit is short but so much fun and is very exciting for the students.  We painted some circus animals that we will put in our circus train next week.  We will be making circus tents and elephants next week too.  I’ll be sure to post some pictures when they are done.  Thank you for all the shoeboxes.  We could still use a couple more if you have any at your home.

The students are excited about our next field trip to the Big Apple Circus.  We will be going on Wednesday, April 15th and already have enough chaperones.  Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Delaney will be joining us for this trip.

The students have been busy working with sight words and writing in their journals.  A bunch of their work went home today for you to look at.  I would encourage you to have your child reread their journals and other work that goes home for further practice.  I have been encouraged by the comments I have received about the reading logs I sent home a couple of weeks ago and would encourage you to continue reading with your child as much as possible.

We started a new topic in math today.  The students thought it was amusing how easy today’s lesson was!  We are starting to do more with classifying, sorting, counting, and categorizing data.  We focused on discussing similarities and differences with shapes today.  I think it will be enjoyable for the students.

There is no school tomorrow because it is Good Friday.  I hope you all have a very happy and enjoyable long Easter weekend!

Melanie Duncan
