Thursday,
April 8th, 2004 Dear Kindergarten Families,
Welcome to spring! We
have just started a new theme, which focuses on the spring season.
We will be discovering all the wonderful things spring has to
offer. Our theme literacy
center this week involved making a kite and learning a poem about kites
as well as making a spring weather mobile.
The language tasks this week were to make an –ag word family
book and also to complete a cut and paste activity having to do with
changing beginning sounds. At the math center students made April calendars and
practiced counting by 2’s 5’s and 10’s using the hundred chart. We started our April journals by writing about the best thing
we did during Spring Break. We
are also trying to complete our stories so they can be written in our
“bare” books for the Author’s night.
Homework resumes this week with two Easter activities as well as
a new book to read. Please
be sure finished homework is brought back on Monday.

Things like cottage cheese or butter containers are the perfect
