Monday - Summer is in the air and the natives are getting restless! Phew! I'm having to turn a lot of cards lately! Please remind your child that we still have school and yes, we are still listening and learning. For the most part they are doing okay. But I need them with me for three more weeks! Today in Social Studies we learned about the months of the year. How many there are and we reviewed their names. We also checked on the progress of our beans seeds. Between the lousy weather and the birds that steal the seeds not much is happening. :( We have now re-planted and we are hoping for some sunshine!
Tuesday - Still not much sunshine! This week we are making bread just like the Little Red Hen. Not one kinder has said, "Not I!". I take it home to bake and we eat it the next day. It is Irish soda bread. Some of the kinders like it, some do not. A recipe will be in your child's Friday Folder. I have also included a recipe for strawberry shortcake from the book Cook-A-Doodle-Doo. This book is another version of the Little Red Hen that I have read to the kinders. I've made this recipe and it is delicious!
Wednesday - I was out due to a doctor's appointment. Mrs. Womack was my sub. The kinders saw what they described as an "awesome" bike assembly. Ask your kinder.
Thursday - Mr. Ben was our visiting teacher for the day. His theme was t-ball. He read them an ABC book called H is for Homerun. We then extended this and made our own ABC baseball book. Mr. Ben also helped check work, worked with the US puzzle center and led the kinders through calendar. Due to rain we did not get to play t-ball. But we will bring Mr. Ben back next week to have our game if the weather cooperates! The kinders did play a pick-up game at recess. Their arms were their bat. Mr. Ben was the pitcher, the outfield and the infield. They wore him out!
Friday - Crazy Hair Day! We survived and not one card was turned! Way to go kinders!
Have a fabulous three day weekend! Please remember that next week is our last week of centers. Thank you for all of your help all year long!
