I hope that everyone had a wonderful first week of April. It was hard to believe it was April with all the snow flurries and cold weather. Fingers crossed that this week will be warmer and hopefully not too rainy. The children visited the book fair in the library this week. Thank you very much for returning all the wish lists and payments for the books you wished to purchase. Many books were sold out when we visited on Friday and those books will be ordered and your child's purchases will be delivered to our classroom when they arrive. We do not know the timeline for delivery, but hopefully it will be quick. Thanks in advance for your patience as we work through this new system with Mabel's Fables. If you have any questions, please see Ms. McGee.
This week the children completed their April calendars and made robins in nests for the artwork. The children are also enjoying inspecting the birds' nests we have in the classroom. In math, we are starting measurement activities using non-standard units including cubes and paper clips. Our Reading Buddies traced the Kindergarten students' feet on Tuesday and the children measured and recorded the results on Friday. This activity can be seen on our bulletin board outside our classroom. Pictures to follow. We will continue with measurement activities in the following weeks.
In the computer lab, Miss Santiago had the children use Pebblego to research facts about the rain. There was no gym this week due to volleyball and badminton tournaments in the gym. The children used their library period this week to visit the book fair. Regular library periods will resume this week.
