Dads, Fieldtrip and Learning.

We started practicing for the big show.  I will send home the official invitation later this week.  The Kindergarten End of Year Celebration will be Thursday, May 16 at 9:00.  After the program, we will return to Room 115 and have time to celebrate our class.  The picture to the left was taken  on our first "on the stage"  practice day.  This picture makes me smile because we will not be looking like this on May 16.  You will be amazed at how much we progress between now and then.  I hope you can schedule your day to join on us on May 16.

Doughnuts for Dads (or substitute dads) is Tuesday for last names A-L. Dads with the last name M-Z can join us for doughnuts on Wednesday, April 17.  It will begin at 7:30 each morning in the lunchroom.  Your child will appreciate the time you sacrifice to join us for a special way to start a morning.  The doughnuts are free compliments of the Blount PTA.

Our field trip to the Davis Theater to see Click Clack Moo is Wednesday.  Please dress your child in the yellow field trip t-shirt on Wednesday.  We will depart the school at 9:00 and return approximately at 11:45.  We will eat lunch upon our return to the school.  I will send an email to the chaperones detailing the procedures for our field trip.

We had fun acting out the song Five Green, Speckled Song.  Singing songs is an excellent way to help your beginning reader.  Rhythm, manipulating sounds, and vocabulary are some of the benefits of singing songs.  I encourage you to put on children's music at home and in the car and sing out loud!  One of the greatest things about children is they never think anyone has a poor singing voice.  So sing along and sing strong!



We will be studying the letter "Uu" as in "upside-down" this week.  The word wall words are:  under, please, big, eat.  

In math, we continue to study 3D shapes.  We are working hard at making sure our numbers are written and formed correctly.

Please send in $1.00 for Nancy's Italian Ice on Monday.  Monday is also our library day and the return of our poetry journal.

To celebrate the letter Q, we painted with Q-tips.  The fun we had goes to show that you don't need expensive art supplies to paint.  Q-tips work just fine.
