Well, April has been quite the ride thus far. Unfortunately we have had a bunch of viruses rattling their way through the room. PLEASE talk to your child again about germies and how to NOT share. This is one time we don't allow sharing. LOL!
On a happier note, we finally had our adventure downtown to the Chicago Symphony Center. The children saw Jack and the Beanstalk that was accompanied by a harp, bassoon, viola and flute. There was a story teller and the children were able to sing and dance. I highly recommend seeing one of their family productions. They are quite fun!
We continue to work on community helpers and vehicles. This unit will bring us right up to community night. Please be sure to attend that evening, May 12. That will be the parade of vehicles by the 4's and kindergarten. PLUS the rest of the school will have their awesome community projects displayed as well.
In Reading we are finishing up our tale: TUG OF WAR. Be sure to ask your child all about the silly turtle. The children have really taken a liking to Jolly Phonics. We are learning a sound and a tune a day. I surely hope you are hearing some of these at home. You should have received 1 set of sounds and this week you will receive the next 6. I hope to make it through all 42, so we may have to double a couple of days.
Math we have returned to patterns. We are adding on making more complex patterns as well as continuing to develop our addition skills.
