This week we are beginning our "Little Books!!" The kiddos are super excited about this! There are 12 in all and we did the first one today! They loved it, but it is SUPER simple! They do get a little harder, but they are all pretty easy. PLEASE review these EACH and EVERY time I send it home. I have stamped them all and they will get prizes every now and then if they have returned them signed. Before you sign them, please make sure they read it to you! :)
This week we are learning all about recycling! Many of you have already started bringing in your plastics you have been collecting! Thank you so much and keep it coming :) K4 really wants to win the pizza party!! Make sure your bags are labeled with K4 on them so we will get credit! The green bags that were in folders yesterday are already labeled K4, so you only have to label any additional bags you bring. If you bring them in when we are in class or we are not in the room, just sit them outside of our classroom! Keep collecting all week! Friday is the last day! I am working on a MAY calendar like I did for April. I will send it home as soon as it is complete! The year is flying by! Have a GREAT week!
