April 11 - 15
April 15, 2005
Dear Families,
During this week the students made Alphabet Books with the keywords on each page. Looking through this book this summer will help the boys and girls practice their sounds and remember the keywords. We read another booklet. It is called A Pup and a Cat. The kindergartners looked at numbers between 26 and 100 and practiced saying them. We practiced filling in the missing numbers on a worksheet, and this time the numbers went backwards! They also worked on illustrating sentences that they can read. Centers included working with water, counting with beans in paper mouths, decorating 2 Grandparent/Guest Day invitations, designing pictures using some foam shapes donated to our classroom by Seth, giant floor puzzles, making a snack, and working in the flower shop in the dramatic play center.
Grandparent/Guest Day invitations were decorated during centers on Friday. Students may invite their grandparents for either day. If you need more invitations for some reason, please let us know. We have made a few extras. If there are no grandparents that can attend, please invite an adult friend to attend. If you have more than one set of grandparents, they may all attend on one day or some on Thursday and some on Friday. It is really important to have SOMEONE attend at least one of the days. We have found that students that have NO guests either day feel really, really bad.
During sandal weather, please send extra socks with your kindergartner so that they can wear them with their gym shoes to gym class.
Please send a picture of your kindergartner to school. We will be making a special project with them so the picture will not return home in its original form.
On Monday, April 25th the kindergartners and first graders get to go to the Blackhawk Children’s Theater to see the play Lilly and the Purple Plastic Purse. We ride on a bus to Waterloo and leave at 8:30 in the morning. Students need to be here on time, or they will miss the bus! (Students that ride the bus to school get here in plenty of time.) We do not get back to school in time to eat the cooks’ lunch. Families need to send a lunch to school on Monday, April 25th. The lunches will be eaten at school in the kindergarten room.
Have a wonderful spring type weekend!
