Week of April 8-11, 2013

April 8-11, 2013
Theme: Season's Change
Letter of the Week: W
Show and Share: April 11-W

I hope everyone had a relaxing and safe spring break. We are nearing the stretch for the last 9 weeks of the school year.

This week we will be talking about season's changing specifically the change from winter to spring. We will be discussing the growth of new plants and flowers. We will be talking about the characteristics of spring including: rain, warmer temperatures, seeing the sun more often and how these are needed for new plants to grow. We will be making a kite and talking about the wind in nature. We will also be talking about worms and the benefits they have in making the soil rich for plants to grow in. We will be making a worm habitat at school and watching how the worms make tunnels through the dirt and sand.
We will be looking at the characteristics of objects and which ones are the same and different. We will also be working on patterning and some visual motor skills of putting a variety of puzzles together.
Two of the books we will be reading include: "Diary of a Worm," and "The Wind Blew."

If your child is going to kindergarten this coming school year 2013-14 please make sure you have signed them up for a screening time and date at their home school.

Upcoming dates: No School May 27th-Memorial Day
May 30th Last day of preschool
