Beach Buddies' Bulletin
April 10-13, 2017
Greetings from Kindergarten!
Writers' Workshop
In writers' workshop we continued writing nonfiction books. We added "kinds of things" pages. These are similar to a list--- i.e. kinds of dogs, things you make with milk, things you need to play soccer. High level thinking happening here!
Readers' Workshop
In Readers' workshop we examined a big book about children in the past compared to children in the present. We compared and contrasted throughout the book and made a Venn diagram to share our thinking.
Math Workshop
In math we counted by 2's, made egg number stories, played a pizza more and less game, and counted money.
Egg and Bunny Fun
Inventions Party
Remember this Friday, April 21st, we will be having our Inventions Party. We need your help in collecting any "recycled" items you could share for our creations. This would be ANYTHING that could be reused to help us make an invention -- bottles, old phone cords, popsicle sticks, yogurt containers, yarn, socks -- ANYTHING that can be reused! Due to space, we can't collect things at school until this WEDNESDAY. Collect at home and we'll look forward to seeing the treasures on the 19th, 20th, or 21st. Any tape donations would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks for your help!
Como Zoo
I know there have been so many forms coming home lately! Spring is a busy place around here. I do need one more form filled out for the Como Zoo trip and this will come home on Monday. Thank you for your understanding and prompt return!
Digital Pen Pals Friendship Connection Trip
We are looking forward to our Kindergarten Friendship Connection field trip on the 27th to Oak Hill. What an awesome experience it will be. The day before our field trip, your kindergartner will be bringing home his/her class t-shirt. We will wear our green shirts on Thursday the 27th for our trip!
Classroom Donations
Looking for items to donate to our classroom? We are in need of:
*sticky-back velcro

Thanks for thinking of us!
