Thursday, May 5, 2005 Dear Kindergarten Families, We have been going buggy this week in kindergarten! Our literacy centers have focused on the topic of insects. At the theme art center students completed a book about insects. Their book tells about all the different parts of an insect. At the language and writing center students read riddles about bugs and became bug detectives as they discovered what type of bugs the riddles described. They completed a bug mini-book and they chose a bug to write about in their journals. At the math center students completed a May calendar. They were given a container full of all different varieties of plastic bugs and they made a graph according to a certain noticeable bug feature. All of the chickens in Mr. K’s class have hatched and we had the opportunity to go and play with them. It has been fun learning about the stages these chicks go through. The kids have written about the stages and drawn pictures. Our baby chick stories are almost complete. This morning we listened to a high school band from Leelanau School ("Mighty Snappy"). They are a talented bunch! What a treat it was to listen to them play their instruments!
