A Note From Ms. Villegas
Hello!
ABC COUNTDOWN
We had lots of fun celebrating Art Day! Don't forget to check out the pictures and videos I posted on Seesaw. This week we will be celebrating Build It Day, Chalk Day, Dance Day, and Exercise Day! Our classroom has legos and blocks to share, but if your child would like to bring their own personal Legos or blocks to build with on Monday, they can.
ANIMAL HABITAT DIORAMA
Our last Family Homework Project-An Animal Habitat Diorama is due this Wednesday, April 26th. I can't wait to see everyone's creative projects! We are all so excited to have our Kindergarten Safari walk!
FUN LEARNING DONATIONS
We are about to start our Science Unit on Plants. We will be learning all about the needs of plants, dissecting real plants to observe each part, planting seeds to grow our very own plants, and we will also learn about the parts of a plant that we can eat. We could use your help to make this learning experience fun and engaging. If you would like to donate a plant part, please click on the link below and sign up for an item. We will also need some help with donations for making ice cream sundaes on I day for the ABC Countdown. Please send all items in by Tuesday, May 2nd.
