Chick Embryology Unit
       We will begin our “Chick Unit” the week of April 7th.  We will have eggs incubating in our room from April 22nd until they hatch approximately 21 days later on May 13th.  This is an exciting unit for the children. You will be amazed at how much they learn about chickens. Please remember to ask your child what he/she learned each day. Many of our projects will be available for you to see at our Open House on Thursday, April 24. 


Book-It Reading Incentive Program
     March was the last month that the children will receive a pizza coupon for returning their monthly reading chart. The Book-It program technically ends at the end of March.   We will still be sending an April & May calendar home to record what books the children have read.  Keep on reading!

Author of the Month
            Mary Jane Auch is our new author for the month of April.  Many of her books are based around fairy tales, such as Chickerella, Peeping Beauty, & The Princess and the Pizza.  We will be comparing these stories to the original fairy tales that they are based upon.




    Our musical was a great success as always!  Thank you to Ms. Wyse for putting in a lot of time (and patience) into this performance.  The children did a great job also!

Have a nice Spring Break!
