Week 29 Newsletter

Dear TK Family and Friends,

This week in TK we are learning the following:

• Jesus has risen!/Easter
• Reviewing the following prayers: Sign of the Cross, Our Father, Glory Be.  Students will be tested on their prayers next week.  Please be sure to recite the prayers often.
• Letters Uu and Vv - letter recognition, sound, initial sounds in words, and write the letter
• Number 26 - count up to, write number 26
• Concept of Before and After
• Graphing
• The 3 Little Pigs
• Characteristics of Pigs and Wolves (this will be on ongoing topic as we will have a week on mammals in a few weeks)
• Science Project to be displayed during Science Night

Science Night will be on April 13 at 5:30pm in the Hall.  I hope to see you there!  Your child's science project will be displayed at this event.  In order for your child to complete the science project, he/she will need to bring an egg crate/carton.  If you have extras, please bring them to school in case others forget.  Here is a picture of what the carton looks like.  We will try to find as many of the items needed for this project at school.  Items that are too difficult to find at school will need to be completed at home.  For example, "smooth rock" - I'm not sure how many smooth rocks we will be able to find on campus.  In these cases, I will have your child complete the missing items at home. Should you have any questions, please e-mail me or ask me in person.

Letter of the Week - We skipped "Share" for the letter Uu since it was a short week but we are back on track with Share for the letter Vv.

Yearbook - The Yearbook Committee is looking for TK photos at school events.  if you have some to share, please e-mail photos this week.   

Looking Ahead:

• Field Study - Rather than leaving campus for a field trip, we are bringing a field trip to school!  We have invited Inside the Outdoors to bring all sorts of animals to school.  This is a great opportunity for students to have hands on interactions with live animals.  This "trip" will cost you $0 because we have great support from HSA.  Your participation with HSA activities help bring opportunities like this to our school.  
• The 3 Piggy Opera - This year, TK will be performing a small play called The 3 Piggy Opera based on the story of The Three Little Pigs.  I am giving all of you a little heads up in case you'd like to take time off work to watch the performance.  We are scheduled to do the play on Thursday, June 9 at about 10:30am.  It's a very short performance but we have already been working hard to prepare for it.  We hope you can join us!

Have a great week!
