Farm Animal Fun


We wrapped up our Farm Animal Books this week. We learned about the different names for animals in each animal family (i.e.-stallion, mare, foal). We also used several differnet skills and mediums to create these literary works. We cut, we glued, we daubered, we colored, we painted, we wrote, we stretched, we worked very, very hard!! Unfortunately, you will have to wait until conferences to see the book but you can have a sneak peak in the video above.

Speaking of conferences...you received a conference sign-up sheet in the red folder this week. Please return it ASAP, as conference times will be filled on a first-come-first-serve basis.  If you can't find your sign-up sheet, you can download a new one here.

We also sent home new bulletin board decorations. You child received either a lion or a lamb for the March bulletin board. Please help him/her decorate it with whatever you like, cut it out, write his/name on it and return it next week. Thank you!

Finally,  please send a photo of your child as a baby before March 24th. You WILL be receiving it back...just be sure to have their name on it. Any photo/snapshot of your child will do. We plan to make a poster with all the kids' pictures on it and have the kids guess which baby is which classmate.
