We had a really great week coming back from Spring Break. On Tuesday we were even able to visit the garden and play. All of the kids really enjoyed this time. Throughout the rest of the year we will go to the garden as the weather and time permits. Also, on Tuesday, Ms. Kathy from the ICPL came and read to us for the last time:( She is retiring at the end of the month. She has assured me that she will put me in contact with her replacement so we can still schedule story time once a month.
Mr. Ryan came in today and did water color with resistance using crayons.
This week we have been making Easter baskets out of egg cartons. Thank you Sivans for donating all of the egg carton so that we could make these really cute projects. I even caved and bought requested jelly beans to go into the baskets. Today was the last day to make them. We now have a paper egg work out. New additional works include a parts of the worm, need and want work and language pocket chart. We have spring themed tracing papers and our curriculum study is plants.
Reminders of school events this month:
VIP day is April 8th. We invite a very important person to come have lunch with us and do some activities. This will happen before the music program that afternoon. Your child's VIP person can come at 12 and stay the afternoon. Please RSVP with Rachel Butler.
The Culture Fair is April 16th from 3-4:30. Our classroom will be representing Spain. This was a successful event last year and was very fun.
Happy Spring!
Ms. Shayne
