Star Class News
Week of March 31st
We are sorry for any inconvenience last weeks power outage caused on Thursday and we really missed the kids! This is our last week of school before Spring Break which means this is the last week of our author series. When we return, we will be celebrating the week of the young child with fun projects, guests and snacks, then moving on to our spring unit. We will then be doing a fun transportation unit, mostly with trains, since that has been a common theme this year in our class free play.
Library Field Trip
Our Library field trips will be this Thursday and Friday. We will have a sign up sheet out this week so we know which kids to expect which days. You are welcome to come either day or both days. The stories will be different each day and the downtown library is always a hit with the kids to play and learn in. We will be doing “preschool in the library” after the story time, for any of the kids that still have projects or work from class to catch up on. We suspect that this will mostly be the Thursday kids that missed class last week due to the power outage, but may include some of our friends that like to work harder on projects as well. If we get everything done Mon, Tues, and Wed, we will just use that time to explore and play in the library.
Auction
We will be having a silent auction the week of April 14th-19th. The classroom “kid” projects will be displayed outside of our classroom and you can bid on them throughout the week. We will also have several other auction items to bid on in the hall between Maria's office and Sanctuary including our Fire pit basket. Be sure to stop by and see if there is anything you want to bid on the week after Spring Break.
This week
We still can not believe that this is the end of our book unit. We hope you will all be able to join us at the library on Thursday and Friday! This week we will be catching up on the work that we have left to do from last week and exploring colors with Brown Bear, Brown Bear. We will also be creating some of our own books where we are the authors and illustrators.
Word Wall
This week we will be introducing the letter P for Panda and Peach. Please have your child bring in items that start with the letter and put them in the pelican so we can share them at the end of the day.
