Dear Parents, On Monday, I picked up a dozen eggs that had been incubated for us from the MSU Poultry Farm. I like to get them so that the chicks begin to hatch within 24 hours. When we opened the egg carton, a chick had decided to come early and was halfway out of his shell. The children were so excited! We had a lot of language rich time observing and talking about the chicks and how they hatch. Today, on Tuesday, we began to have a turn to look at and touch the chicks. We always wash our hands prior to and after we touch a chick. The children are fascinated with the chicks! This has been a fun experience! Dear Parents, We had the opportunity for March is Reading Month to have a certified therapy dog and his certified owner and trainer come to our class! It was such a special treat! Miss Judy read a story to us, The Pigeon Wants a Puppy. The class enjoyed the book about the dog and loved to have the chance to pet Jack. They were so gentle. We would love to have Jack visit us again! A special thank you to Stacy Dickert-Conlin and Anna Mikko-Eicher, our librarian for organizing this for us! Jaslene's parents showed Kindness to our class by sending an ice cream treat! The kids were so excited to have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry ice cream and sprinkles. It was such a fun treat on our half-day of school before our long weekend! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Dear Parents, Every class has the mission of completing a Kindness Project this month. Our class chose the message, "Throw Kindness Around Like Confetti". We made confetti cookies and placed them in a cute box with the message printed on the front and back of the box. We made a confetti tablecloth. We delivered them this morning to each teacher and adult in our building. The children did a great job giving each adult their Kindness Box. What they noticed was that every single adult smiled when they got their Kindness Box. We decided that showing Kindness makes people feel happier! I was so proud of the children! These pictures tell the story! |
