This week we learned about animals that live in ponds and meadows. On Monday we watercolor painted a pond. Watercoloring is a soothing activity for kids this age, so if you are looking for a quiet, creative outlet when your little one is getting rambunctious, you might want to pull out the watercolor paints.
Tuesday was our final trip up to Community Elementary for Star Literacy testing. Once again, we had model students who walked quietly through the halls so as not to disturb the big kids. We are so proud!!
We made an accordion book about frogs on Wednesday. Be sure to ask your child to explain the life cycle of a frog to you.
Thursday we used our fine motor skills to tear paper to make a turtle. There were a lot of steps to this project, including cutting, tearing and gluing.
Remember there is NO SCHOOL on Monday due to the Memorial Day Holiday. We will see you on Tuesday for the start of Ocean Week.
Also, we have a number of things due on Tuesday, including any payment for or unwanted spring/graduation pictures and contact list update forms. We also need the graduation "count" sheets that were included in your child's red folder this week.
