Spring is here!

This past week we spent a lot of time working on paintings that are symmetrical.  We made paintings of "spring things" and hung them in our classroom windows on the first day of spring!  Can you spot the line of symmetry in each painting?  I bet your child can!

   

On Friday, we enjoyed our school's Jazz Band performance in the gym.  The "big kid" performers were amazingly talented and put on an excellent show for us to enjoy.  We were all mesmerized during the performance, and we were very happy to be invited!  Thanks, Jazz Band!

eagerly waiting for the show to begin!

In math, we have using games to talk about addition and subtraction.  You'll get a chance to learn more about these games, but rest assured we are having lots of fun learning through them!

We are in the middle of our six week weaving program with Karen Ressel (and wonderful parent volunteers)!  The children are really picking up on it and are moving right along, enjoying this creative process.  It is great fine motor practice, as well as practice for following directions and having patience.  We all make mistakes, and that is OKAY- this is important for all of us to remember!

Finally, just a few sweet moments during the week:

livening up snack time with a read aloud- all by themselves!

Boys: "Will Mrs. Fournier give us 4 recesses today?"

For the record, the magic 8 ball said, "Ask again later."
