Friday April 11, 2013
This was a wet week in
the Pre-K class with all of the rain that we had. However, they do say that “April showers
bring May flowers!” We were able to
visit many community helpers around our neighborhood and school. The fruit market trip was the highlight, and everyone
had the opportunity to buy some fruit.
Today I sent home an
assignment I would like you to help your son or daughter complete. Since we are investigating occupations in our
community I would like the students to see what their mothers or fathers
do. Please fill out the form and bring
it back to school next week. There are four questions to complete and on the back your son or daughter can draw a picture of the community helper they picked. I would especially encourage housewives to be
chosen as they have a very important job in our community.
This week we also started
our science fair experiment. We are
investigating plants and the importance of sunlight. Remember that the Science Fair is April 24th
and we will be showing everything we learnt about our plants that day.
In math this month we are
continuing our unit on measurement and will start very basic addition.
