Update for March 25

Hello! This week we learned about the letter W. We made worm puppets and watermelon. We also started some fun spring crafts, including flowers, butterflies, and kites, to decorate our hallway for kindergarten registration. After break, we will be learning about the letter E and the -et word family. In math, we finished up our measurement unit, and we will be continuing with addition after break.

A few reminders:
--It is officially spring break! Have a wonderful, relaxing break, and travel safely if you are going anywhere. I'll see you on Monday, April 4!

--There is no school on Thursday, April 7 due to kindergarten registration. Please pass the word around if you know anyone who is going to be five in the fall!

--Mark your calendars: We will be going to the Indianapolis Zoo on Monday, May 9. More info to come after break!

I don't have much else to share this week. Have a great break!

Update for March 7

Hello! I apologize that it's been so long since my last update-- things have been a little crazy around here the past few weeks!

Last week, we learned all about nutrition and how to take care of our bodies. We learned about the food groups and what foods are healthy for us. We also learned how to brush our teeth. We had tons of fun on our field trip to Ruth Lilly!

This week, we are learning about the letter O. We will also be learning about the word said and starting the -og word family. We are also beginning a new chapter in math, and we will learn about measurement.

A few notes and reminders:

-We are in desperate need of glue sticks! We have run out, and we still have a few more months of school. Any donated glue sticks would be very much appreciated!

-Book orders came home today/Friday. These will be due back on Friday, March 18 so that we can hopefully get the books in before spring break. Our class code is GMXHN if you'd like to order online and earn free books for our class!

-We are up to 17 out of 18 in the AM class and 19 out of 20 in the PM class that can count to 100! Way to go!

-Just a reminder that spring break is coming up--March 26-April 3. There is no school the following Thursday (April 7) due to kindergarten registration for next year.

-Please make sure you are sending your child to school with a coat or jacket. We will be going outside as long as it isn't muddy or below freezing!

Have a great week!
