Today we wore green and did some of the Earth Day activities. I just got an email that the PTA has picked April 29th as a school wide day to CELEBRATE EARTH DAY. We will have planting, sprucing up our school grounds and collecting gently used, clean towels and blankets for the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter. So we will do recycle, reduce, reuse lessons both days as well as talk about how we can take care of this wonderful world we live in.
We received a letter from a Kindergarten class of 15 students in Newport, Washington. They wrote to 100 schools on their 100th day of school. They are hoping to receive 100 responses. As it turns out one of the pages we did not get to last week in our Reader/Writer notebook was a form to teach general letter composition. It had the children fill out a short letter to a family member or friend. So I had the student's write what they would put in a letter to Cherenne and then we combined our ideas into out long group letter that I typed out on the computer! We will mail it from school tomorrow!
Please help your child remember that Tuesday is Qq day and EVERYONE can bring a show and tell that starts with the letter 'q'. It helps if they bring it in a bag or envelope as many of them like to keep it a secret until it's their turn to share. We are going to gather around my huge college quilt and share our items one at a time. Also, tomorrow, we are also talking more about the quarter and how much it is worth and what other coins equal 25 cents! If we have time I hope to do some more spring reading especially one of my favorites called 'The Egg Book" It's a short week and I always try to plan too much!
All five butterflies are out and if it is warmer tomorrow we will let them go. We have earned 299 compliments. When we get one more I will bring a compliment cake and we will celebrate and watch the "Butterflies" movie of the Magic School Bus series.
Thanks for reading all this to keep up to date on what we are learning in Kindergarten at Meadowlark!
Sincerely, Mrs. Clapper
