Field Day to the Max!

I can't even describe how much fun we had. The pictures say it all.

TAKING LEARNING TO A NEW LEVEL!

It looks like play, but we are sharpening our critical thinking skills!

Things to remember:
Field day is 5/25/11. You must have documentation that you passed the background check to join us. So far, none of my parents have shown me that documentation.
Awards Day is 5/31/11 at 1:00 in the afternoon. Every child in my class will cross the stage to get an award.

The Three Bears

Our Pretend and Learn Center has become The Three Bears' Cottage. We are having a great time dramatizing this story. Mrs. Snipes has found Three Bears books, flannel board stories and Three Bears magnets. Every center has something that relates to this story. I will try tomorrow to post a video for you.

Upcoming Information

Your child's homework for this week is to complete the outline of the body that i sent home on 4/29/11. It should show the job your child would like to do when he or she grows up. Please comlete it with extra material. Drawing and coloring are not enough. It is due on 5/6/11.
Field day has been moved to 5/25/11. If you are planning on participating, please complete the volunteer form on the DISD webpage under parents.
We will not have a picnic on 5/21/11.
The awards program will be on 5/31/11 in the afternoon. I will let you know the time when I am given that information. All children will receive an award.

We Play To Learn!

This may look like play, but we are really learning. These are the activities that will prepare your child for Kindergarten.

Fun Times in PKB!

I want to share a few things with you. First, the egg hunt was wonderful. We had so much fun. Check out the pictures!
One of the pictures is of the homework from this past week. I stapled them on the wall outside the classroom. I was amazed! What a great job!
Homework For 4/25/11-4/29/11
I sent home 5 stapled pages. I want you to make an animal book. The first page is the cover. I would like a picture and a sentence on each page. Each animal picture must be a photograph or a picture from a magazine. I do not want the children to draw and color a picture. This book needs to be more than that. Thanks for everything you do!

Painting Eggs!

Today we painted eggs. I thought the kids would have a hard time with this activity and we would end up doing it for them. No! They loved it and they did a beautiful job with the eggs (hard boiled). The colors are gorgeous. Look for your child's egg to come home tonight. I don't think you should leave it in the backpack. Your child can peel and eat the egg.
