April 7, 2017 Newsletter

Dear Parents,

We have been very busy wrapping up 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!  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, one will have multicultural art from all the different continents, 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!  The students will be available to give you a tour during your visit to the museum.  If you know you aren’t going to be able to make it, please let me know so I can be sure to have a teacher or other staff member available for your child to show around.

The students finished their Mexican Suns this week and also made animal sculptures out of Model Magic.  They also made Egyptian amulets by stepping on clay and leaving the imprints of their shoe soles in it.  They look pretty neat!  We will be making our final project out of “junk” on Monday!

The students finished writing their first narrative piece this week.  They wrote about Miss P. from the Burlington Science Center coming in to feed our pet snake!  The students will get to pick their own topics to write about after we return from April Vacation.  They are making great progress on their writing!

We started a new topic in math and will be working with 2D and 3D shapes.  We worked on a fun project today where students got to make pictures using different shapes.  We will put their work together in a class book and start circulating it soon.

We will be going to the Library on Wednesday.

There is no school on Friday, April 14th.

Spring Vacation is April 17-21.

Have a great weekend!

Melanie
