March 24, 2017 Newsletter

Dear Parents,

We have been very busy preparing our projects that will be displayed at our Kindergarten Museum on Tuesday, April 11th.  We hope you are able to visit our museum from 8:30-9:15am that day to see some of the children’s amazing artwork!  We have completed most of our Impressionist projects this week.  We finished painting water lilies, decorated flower pots with mosaic designs, and made birch trees out of newspaper.  We also started learning a little about Egypt and will complete some fun Egyptian art projects next week.

We finished learning about all seven continents on Earth.  The students were really interested in all the facts they learned from the continent books.  They completed their own continent books that went home today.  We used interactive writing to write all the facts.  Please ask your child to read their books to you and share what they have learned!

We also made Car Books and Color Flip Flap books.  Both projects required students to use sight words to write whole sentences.  These are all great books for your child to read and reread at home.

I checked students’ addition fluency math facts this week.  They have been making great progress!  Please have your child start working on their subtraction facts and continue practicing their sight words.

I have enjoyed the first few conferences I have had with some of you and I am looking forward to the rest that are coming up over the next couple of weeks.  Please check in with me if you need a reminder about the date or time of your conference.  We’ve already got some artwork on display so you will be able to get a little sneak peek before the actual museum!

PS...We will be going to the library on Wednesday.  Please have your child return his/her book.  Please be sure to return all class books too.  Thanks!
