MArch 31-April 4

Dear Sunshine Families This is our last week before spring break! We will continue learning about weather and spring flowers. We were unable to do our windy art last week so we will be doing it this week! We will also complete our cherry blossom tree on the bulletin board. The letter for this week is 'R'. Each week we will focus on a different letter; we will practice writing the letter and talk about things that start with the letter sound. The items that are brought in will be saved for sharing; they will not be played with or used during class time. The upcoming auction was canceled due to low interest in ticket sales. We will instead hold a silent auction to auction off the goods collected, the classroom baskets and the classroom art pieces. The silent auction will be the week of April 14-18, the week we come back from spring break. Items will be on display in the hall between Maria's office and the sanctuary. Art: The kids will make garden paintings, windy art and letter R paintings . Math/Science: We will experiment with ways to make wind to move objects. We will use a blow dryer and paint to make a windy painting. Literacy: We will read Cloudette, Welcome, Spring and Sarah's Boots. We will practice writing the letter 'R'. Extras: We have received just about all of the birthday party basket donations. If anyone is interested in putting the basket together let me know! It's going to look great!
