Earth Day!

On Friday, April 22nd our classroom celebrated Earth Day.

We read about recycling, reusing materials, picking up litter on the ground, and then we created our Earth.

We love our Earth.

We love the Earth's animals.

We love the Earth's mountains.

We love the Earth's deserts.

We love the Earth's oceans.

We love our home, the Earth!

To end the day, we put on a glove and went outside to our playground and picked up any trash we found.  

We, truly, love our Earth!

Teeny, Tiny Caterpillars!

Our caterpillars have arrived and, boy, they are teeny tiny.

We have observed them and we're amazed!

 Can your child tell you about the caterpillars?

*6 true legs

*10 pro-legs

*bristles

*jaw

*spiracles

*segmented body

Plus, we had to to investigate the food that our caterpillars will eat. The caterpillars will be eating blended up MALLOW plant.  

We used some of our senses to investigate:  sight, smell, touch...        

it smelled disgusting! 

 Mallow in individual cups after exploring the 

smell, sight, and feel of it.  Uck!

April ART PROJECTS!

The sun is shining and the warm,         spring weather is filling our

hearts with happiness.  

In order to get in the TRUE springtime spirit, we decided to make some special artwork to display in the room.

On Monday, we began to talk about the Life Cycle of a Butterfly 

and we made our April quilt.

Come in and see our masterpieces!

Then, on Tuesday, we read Eric Carle's most popular story called 

The Very Hungry Caterpillar.    

Can you see our own hungry caterpillars eating through the food?  

We LOVED this book and cannot wait to read more Eric Carle stories.

If you have a minute, come in and see all of our hard work.  

We ARE artists!

Hello, Springtime!

Spring is here and the warm sun 

makes our hearts happy!

Don't forget that I only need a light jacket or coat.

Say goodbye to our big, winter jackets!

Give us a hug Mister Sunshine...

it is fabulous to have you 

back in our heart!

Also, since it is almost the end of the year, we are in need of a few supplies:

*pony beads

*snack crackers

*sanitizing wipes

Curious George

On Tuesday, March 15th, 

the KinderKids at Summitview Elementary

rode the school bus down to the 

Capital Theatre to watch 

Curious George. 

Of course, we all had a blast...

even Floyd the Frog.

The bus was our favorite!

Just look at the sheer joy 

on our faces?!?! 

We made another memory in Room 5.

Sigh-word Practice

As we approach the end of the school year, it is very important that your child be able to 

READ, WRITE, and SPELL

their Kindergarten sight-words.

First grade is just around the corner, and in order for reading success, 

sight word fluency is vital.

We've been practicing hard in the classroom, 

so let's continue to learning at home.

Teddy Bear Picnic!

Teddy bear picnics are so much fun!

Come and look at the fun 

we had in the sun!

Thank you to the families who came

 and joined us!

We love you!
