Howdy Families!
Here we are in our second week of the Funny Farm. We had so much fun last week with our trip to the Dodge Nature Center. The children were able to have some hands-on experiences to touching the animals and jumping in the hay! They learn so much by going on these special field trips.
This week will continue with the theme and then move into some May Day experiences.
The months are flying by and the children are growing day by day.
Here is a Peek of the Week
Monday- We will have fun sheering a pretend sheep and learning about all the things we can get from wool.
Tuesday- We will get our hands dirty by planting a garden from a variety of vegetable and flower seeds, just like the farmer does on the farm.
Wednesday- We will collect some eggs from the chicken coop, and then make a scrambled egg breakfast.
Thursday- We will create some beautiful tissue paper flowers.
Friday- Happy May Day! We will make some May Day baskets and deliver them to our friends!
Show and Tell
Tuesday- Mae and Matteo
Wednesday- Zachary and Lucy
Thursday- Nick and Mitchell
Please bring in any items that relates to our theme of the Farm. See the vocab for ideas! If you have any garden gloves for Tuesday that would be great to bring them in for your child.
Some of the vocab will include these words...goat, sheep, overalls, rooster, gardening, tools, tractor, plow, farmer, farm, fence, field/pasture, chicken coop, haystack, wagon, pond,pig pen, hay, and silo.

The Forest comes to Us Week 2
Dear Families,
I hope by the time you read this, you will be enjoying your Spring Break and making memories with your children. Winter should be behind us now and we will be setting our eyes on the Spring weather, and enjoying outdoor activities. Spring is also a time to see where your child has been and look at the progress he/she has made since the Fall. Some of our students are ready to fly out of the nest and move on to Kindergarten!
Make sure that you sign up for the Spring conferences! You will find a sign-up sheet on the left side of the hallway wall near my door.
We will continue with the theme of the Forest and continue with the same vocabulary words from last week.
Here is a Peek of the Week:
Monday- No School due to teacher work day.
Tuesday- We will have fun making some crazy snakes!
Wednesday- We will make an edible Deer face complete with antlers!
Thursday- Preparing for a hike! As a group we will pack a back pack with all the necessities for hiking through a forest.
Friday- As a large group we will experience camping and also make a favorite campfire snack!
For Show and Tell
Please have your student bring in something related to our theme of hiking through a forest. This can be binoculars, canteens, compass, stuffed animals, books, toy snakes, small plastic forest animals etc.
Tuesday- Lucy and Matteo
Wednesday- Nick and Mae
Thursday- Mitchell and Zachary
Thanks so much for being an active partner in your child's learning. I appreciate all you do to make this a wonderful experience for your child!
