Friday

Today was a fun day with our visiting Button Quail. The class had time to sit and watch them at centers. The eggs they hatched from are as small as your thumb nail, and the birds are an inch to an inch and half small, as little baby birds. They peep all day long. It is amazing what we learn by observation. They got to see how they drink, the different colors and patterns of feathers they have, and many other things. Ask your child about them. They got to sit and observe as a center rotation.

We wrote; "I like learning about ___________ most because ___________. They chose from butterflies, frogs, chicks, or Button Quail. We discussed how chicks and Button Quail are different. Another Kindergarten class hatched chicks a week ago. They were able to compare them.

We continued to learn about Vv and Zz sounds today; and we practiced writing High Frequency words. Where and Come were the High Frequency words for this week.

Mothers Day is coming, and we were talking about how special moms are to us. We began making our gifts today; shh, don't let us tell you. Sincerely, Deena Bartsch
