May 4th- 9:00 in the gym Kindergarten Orientation Program
The k-classes are presenting songs about school for our parents and for next year's k-kids and their parents. Please dress your child in blue jeans. We will put their blue tie-die shirts on them. you'll want to get a seat in the gym before 9:00. After the program you'll be dismissed while our class takes some pre-k children back to our room for a visit in a k room. Some of you may have participated in this last year.
We have begun our Animal unit- Born to be Wild. As part of this study, we will be learning various facts about the characteristics of different animals and their animal groups.
Your child will bring home the name of an animal from a specific animal group. Help them to follow these directions:j
1. Please help your child learn about this animal by reading an appropriately leveled nonfiction book to them. JYJ and public library has many resources.
2. Your child should draw a picture of the chosen animal on the large project sheet that will be sent home. Fill in the animal name and group it comes from (mammal, reptile, amphibian, bird, insect, fish). We want the child to do the writing. We are not looking to have them spell every word correctly, but rather that they have worked to record dominant sounds in words. They are also to draw and label a picture of their animal. This fact sheet is due on May 18th.
3.Choose one activity from the projects listed below. Assist your child in creating this project to represent their chosen animal.
- puppet
- mask
- poster
- costume
- model
We will be having an animal parade through the hallways of school at 9:00 on June 1st. You'll want to find a place along the hallway near the foyer/library area.
Remember that this is your child's project. It is a great opportunity to work with them through the planning and creation stages.
