TK Week of March 24th-27th
Hello Parents!
I hope Friday went well with child care being found, or with having the opportunity to spend extra time with your TKer. Our Professional Development Day went really well with lots of important connecting grade level collaboration.
Worms! The highlight of the week was our time in the garden. Farmer Bree joined us to talk about the importance of earthworms in helping our food grow. We learned about the parts of a worm as well, but the best part was being able to find and hold the worms!
Missy Mouse's M - Our letter of the week was M. Our carpet time was filled with lots of great M words the group was able to think of. Hopefully you and your TKer can brainstorm some M words together. Also have your cutie show you some fabulous M's ("Hello Smile, Ribbit, Slide Down, Slide Up, Slide Down").
Field Trip on May 20th - I heard there were questions about our field trip to the zoo listed on our Dates to Remember. More detailed information will be coming after Spring Break in April, but I do have some general information. We'll be leaving in the morning of May 20th in a bus to go to the Sacramento Zoo and won't be returning until 2:00pm. Parents are very welcome (and encouraged) to come! Last year some parents joined us on the bus, some drove down with their TKer in their own car and met us there, and some drove themselves and let their TKer ride in the bus. Whatever is best for you is great with me. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask me anytime.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
