Dear Families,
The kindergartners learned the digraph th. The digraph th has two sounds; th as in feather and th as in thimble. The students practiced reading color words and listened to 2 books on tape by Gail Gibbons. One book was about whales, and the other book was about zoos. We practiced the counting on math skill and filled out April calendars. The boys and girls decorated kites that are now hanging in the classroom. The kites make our room look so springy! Centers included painting, reading books, making bunny boxes for Easter, playing #11 - 40 bingo, playing Candyland, counting milk caps into groups of ten to help our school earn extra money, and playdough.
Students are dismissed one hour early on Thursday, April 9th. They do not have school on Friday, April 10th. This will be our short spring break. The Friday sharing kids may bring their sharing any day next week.
Kindergartners will have the week of April 20 - 24 off because of kindergarten round up. They will return on Monday, April 27th.
****We need a snapshot or school picture of every kindergartner for an art project in May. We would like you to send the picture as soon as possible! These will be used in a project so they will not be returned to you.****
Grandparent’s Days are scheduled for Thursday, May 14th and Friday, May 15th. Grandparents may attend either of those days. Official invitations will be decorated soon and sent home.
Have a fantastic weekend!
Mrs. Daugherty, Mrs. Owens, Mrs. Pokorny, Mr. Degner, and Mrs. Herink
