Last month we learned about the saying, "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb". At the end of the month we counted up our lamb and lion days we recorded as we checked the weather each day and found that it was about even...9 lamb days and 10 lion days. Now we have moved on to, "April showers bring May flowers." Our bulletin board in the hallway is full of Kindergarten-made flowers as we hope to help bring Spring to Middlebury!
An important part of our learning together in Kindergarten is practicing ways to calm our bodies and redirect our attention. As I have taught the children several ways to practice different ways to breathe to calm your body and mind, the children have also taught me several different ways. Then we get to teach others in our community, like Mr. Lester and Mrs. Urban. We have the opportunity to learn some yoga, too, in the next few weeks. Prem Prakash from Green Mountain Yoga will be visiting our Kindergarten classes to lead the children through a half hour of yoga. It will be a great connection to what we have been discussing around ways to calm and settle our bodies.
I look forward to seeing you at parent conference time in the next couple of weeks. If you are unable to attend for any reason, please let me know with a note or a phone call and we can reschedule. My number at school is 382-1458. There is an Early Release Day this week on Wednesday the 10th. Our trip to the Flynn Theater is Monday, April 15th and Spring Vacation is the week of April 22-26.
Friends enjoy building together in B-3.
The latest Art project with Ms. S...texture crowns.
Looking at different places in our community as we get ready to explore jobs and what we want to be when we grow up.
Our Who We Are projects are hanging up in the classroom - we have learned so much about each other and what makes us who we are. I hope you have a chance to look at them when you come in for parent conference time.
April showers bring May flowers.....
