The week of April 15

Parents,

We are learning about the 7th habit of happy kids this month which is sharpen the saw.  Sharpen the saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have–you.  Last week Ms. April from one of the lower elementary classes came in and did a guided meditation with us to help us sharpen our saws.  This week Ms. Steph will come in a guide us through some yoga moves.  We talked about how when our bodies and minds are calm we are able to accomplish a lot more!  We will continue our study of Africa and its grasslands.  We will talk about one group of people who live in the grasslands, the Maasai. We will also talk about the parts of birds.  We will do a group activity with incline planes this week as well.

On Monday April 29th our kindergarten students will be shadowing in a lower elementary class. For those of you who are not familiar with what shadowing is let me fill you in. Each one of our kindergarten students goes to visit one of the 9 lower elementary classes.  They are partnered up with a student from that class and then they do some activities and work int hat room with their partner for about an hour and then they come back to our class.  This is a great chance for them to see what they get to look forward to next year as well as ease some of their fears. Please make sure that you child is at school on the 29th.

Have a great week!

Ms. Jen, Ms. Jess & Ms. Kimber
