We
have some really fun things happening in class and a few dates to keep in mind
over the next couple of weeks.
If you haven’t heard already, we have started
incubating our chicken eggs in the classroom! We will be monitoring and
candling the eggs and keeping a journal of what we discover. It takes 21 days for the eggs to develop and hatch. The eggs are due to hatch on Friday, April 13th. This is also conference day, so we will have the classroom open for you to stop by anytime to see the progress of the hatching. I will also be there on Saturday to monitor the progress of the hatching and you are also welcome to bring your family in to see the chicks hatching that day as well!
We will have a local author coming to speak to the kids this Wednesday about
his life and read one of his books to the kids. The author, Nick, has cerebral palsy and speaks with a talking device (also known as a voice output communication aid, VOCA). This is a great opportunity for the kids to learn about disabilities. Nick loves kids and loves to answer questions about his disability and his life.
Picture forms went home in
Friday folders. We will have class pictures on Tuesday, April 3rd. This will be a free dress day!
The focus book this week is Chickens Aren't the Only Ones by Ruth Heller
There is also a Reading Rainbow episode for this book!
