Happy Birthday
This
week was Dr. Seuss’ birthday and we celebrated several of the wonderful stories
he has written! One of the books we read
was Bartholomew’s OOBLECK. We
learned about the scientific process and how to make informed predictions. Then, using oobleck we tested those
predictions to see if we were right. Science
is so fun!
Also in 
We learned that plants start with a seed.
Little seeds
lie fast asleep,
In a row, in a
row.
Wake up, wake
up,
Calls the sun.
Wake up now
and grow.
It
was fun acting it out. We were the seeds
covered with soil (scarves) and Karlee was the sun that woke us up.
We
learned that plants need: sun, water, and soil to grow.
We planted Groovy Guy Grass & Groovy Girl Grass. Starting this week we will learn about the parts of a plant and why plants are so important to us. Keep watching the blog to see how they will change over the next few weeks.
DONATIONS
This
week we will be having a Seed Tasting
Party. I want the children to
discover that seeds come in many different forms. I already have most of what we need but, I
still could use the following types of seeds.
If you can donate any of these, please contact me.
·
1
container raspberries
·
1
container strawberries
·
4
ribs of celery

Edamame
SIGHT WORDS
We
are working really hard in class to learn the last few snap words. Make sure you are reviewing them daily, at
home. I love it when parents tell me
about the fun and creative ways they are helping their child practice
them. Keep up the great work!
Our
fabulous kindergarten won the lunchroom contest this week for being the most
proactive at lunchtime. We cleaned up
after ourselves, talked in quiet voices, and emptied our trays
appropriately. Congratulations
kids!
