Spring Break

I hope everyone had a great week off from school!!! I was able to go to Gulf Shores for the 1st half of the week and then work around the house for the second half.  I know we all may have Spring Fever..but we have alot of fun things coming up!! I can't wait to see the kids on Monday!
Love, Mrs. Harrison

Have you ever eaten a Purple Cow?  Well, we enjoyed making and eating one today!  Ask your child about the recipe!

Next week will be having a week of fun with Mrs. Wishy-Washy… mud, mud, and more mud!

We will be involved with:

 -creative writing

 - science experiments centered around mud

 - mud math with animal crackers (adding, odd & even   numbers, teen numbers, add-on  counting)

 - graphing favorite characters

 - creative writing

 - reading, re-reading, retelling, and acting out Mrs. Wishy-Washy (characters, setting, beginning, middle, and ending parts of story)

*Remember to review around 10 minutes each night.  Review sight words and word families.  Practice for instant recognition.*

Dates To Remember:

 March 11 - Science Fest

 March  14 - 18 - Spring Break

  Kindergarten is a messy business....especially when we are working with "Oh Lovely Mud"!

 "He has made everything beautiful in its time.  He has also set eternity in the hearts of men:  yet they cannot fathom what God has done beginning to end."

Ecclesiastes 3:11

Think of where your child was when he/she began Kindergarten in August, and think of where they are today!!  I hate to say this, but we only have 45 days of school left!!

Mrs. Harrison

Our numbers are growing each day as the children are bringing their pillow pets and dolls on a daily basis.  We understand their attachment to these "special friends".  As we prepare for first grade we ask that our "special friends" stay at home following "Spring Break".  Thank you for your cooperation and support.  We appreciate each of you and love your children.
