We have begun our study of Paper in Kindergarten, which will involve a continuation of design, building on our partner-created boats for teddy bears in the month of March. The children brought home a piece of "Elephant Poo-Poo" Paper, and are asked to bring a unique paper product from home for our continued study.
We had a classroom visit from Pastor Schnarr, who answered some of our questions about the "remembering" of Good Friday, Easter, and Christmas, and read a picture book about the story of Noah and the first rainbow.
Thank you again to Kindergarten parents whose consistency in the home reading with their children is demonstrated in the children's confidence and growth in putting together sounds in words, and advancing their vocabulary and storytelling. We have returned to our Reader's Theatre story sharing, which we will then advance to story sharing with the entire class over the next few months.
Thank you, also, for sending extra socks (several pairs), underwear, pants, and a shirt in your child's backpack. Our learning, and play on the playground, is sometimes messy, and the children are most comfortable having their own things to change. If you happen to have any of the spare clothing (pants, socks, t-shirts, mittens, hat) from my collection in the classroom, please send it back clean a day or two after your child has borrowed it.
Have a wonderful (WARM!) week,
Mrs. Butterfield
