Hello Parents! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! This is our last full week before Easter break & it is jam packed with fun, exciting activities. Also, please continue to pack the proper attire for when we go outside. It has been a bit windy but as long as the sun is shining, we will be out there!
Important Dates and Reminders:
- Easter Program – April 14th from 9:00-10:00 am – we can’t wait to see you all!
- Spring Break – April 17th-25th (NO SCHOOL, Easter Recess)
We will be starting Theme 7 “Nature All Around Us” and starting unit 1 “How Do Plants Grow”, BIG Idea: I can plant a seed and watch how it grows. Knowledge Focus: Children learn about their environment by investigating characteristics of the natural world. Social-Emotional Focus: Curiosity. The theme vocabulary words include: flower, petal, plant, roots, seeds, tree and vine. Math vocabulary words include: add and count.
We will be learning the letter Yy, continue to review numbers 1-20, shapes, colors and continue our weekly journal on Friday’s. We will also begin to learn to count by 10’s! We will be reading the books “Growing Vegetable Soup”, “What The Sun Sees/What The Moon Sees” and Counting In The Garden”.
We also will be making bean Greenhouses! The children will observe how the grass seeds grows and learn about the life cycle of a plant. We will also plant seeds in our own planters! The students will help take care of their seed each day. This helps teach the children about responsibility and how to take care of something living and growing! In our sensory bin, there will be paper dirt, artificial flowers and tools that will allow the children to “plant” their own flowers! Lastly, we will continue to work on our Easter crafts in preparation for the upcoming holiday.
For Jesus Time, Mrs. Maldonado will discuss the story of Peter and the Crippled Man with the children. We will be finishing up our Lent packet just in time for it to be sent home the following week. On Friday, we will be making Palms in honor of Palm Sunday. We will continue to sing our Jesus time songs and pray before snack and lunch.
