We are so very excited to be starting a new unit! We have started learning about animals and their needs, and our students are so engaged in this topic! We have talked a lot over the last week about non-fiction texts and how we can use them to get information about animals. Your children have really taken an interest in non-fiction, so don't be surprised if you see more of them coming home in reading folders or from the media center. What a great way to inspire more reading! We will also be using photographs and video to help bring to life what animals are like. If your family has visited the zoo or has had other experiences with animals that are not found commonly in homes, please feel free to send in photos or come to class to share with the students! Click here for a video we watched that helped us remember what animals need to survive.
Please remember that next Friday is our Spring Carnival! Kindergarten is collecting any items related to Legos or blocks to use in creating a basket for the raffle. Please send in donations by Friday, May 4th so that our PTA can put the basket together for the carnival. We hope to see you there! The Spring Carnival is always so much fun!
