Kindergarten News
Dear Kindergarten Parents,
Our best wishes for a very Happy New Year, and we are pleased to welcome your children back to the classroom-we have missed them! January plans to be an interesting and invigorating month for the children. Our winter classroom theme is the investigation of the life cycles of many penguin species. We will explore where they live and how they survive the harshness of their environment. Some of the books we will be reading are The Penguins, by the Cousteau Society, Antarctica, By Helen Cowcher and The Emperor’s Egg, by Martin Jenkins.
As we bundle up to keep warm in the cool morning air, we can only imagine how penguins withstand their icy and freezing environment. We will eat like penguins, waddle like penguins and play penguin games. We will learn first hand how they adapt and endure their environment. The kids will get to enjoy playing with pretend penguins in icy water, and learn how their feathers, air and fat insulate them. We continue reading our chapter book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We are looking foreword to the “Grand Finale” of this endearing book when we celebrate with our Charlie Party.
Arts Month We return to our school wide theme Ancient Greece, for Arts Month. This is a wonderful tradition at our school and we are excited to have the opportunity to participate. Kindergarten and Gradeschool students are broken into multi-age groups which meet twice per week, Tuesday and Friday to engage in a specific art experience. The culmination of these experiences will be on display in Meyer Hall for founder’s day. More information will follow regarding this special event.
Looking Ahead:
No School Monday January 15th - Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Founders’ day is Wednesday January 31st… details to follow!
