April 6-9

This week we’re planning many fun activities for Easter. We’ll finish making Easter bonnets, fingerpaint big Easter eggs, and make Easter Bunny puppets.
We will play and sing “Rabbits Lunch” and “Bunny Comes to My House” in Music, and we’ll watch Beatrix Potter movies during rest time. We will read, In the Forest (a texture book), The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, and Rabbits and Raindrops. We will narrate The Tale of Flopsy Bunnies by Beatrix Potter.
In Science we will begin to paint and work on a book about the Solar System. We will also continue to explore our Sense of Touch by taking a Texture Walk around the playground and introducing Montessori texture tablets.
In Bible we will practice Kindness as we learn about our Fruits of the Spirit. We will read about the kindness of Boaz to Ruth and have a Puppet Show called “The Lost Money.”
Remember, our class will meet at Dalworthington Gardens Park on Tuesday, April 7 to feed the ducks. Please meet us there immediately after school.
We are planning a field trip to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History on Thursday, April 23 to visit the interactive Space exhibit for children located in the Cowgirl Museum. An information sheet is attached.
Our Easter party will be this Thursday, April 9. We will wear our Easter bonnets and have an Easter tea party. Please send an Easter basket and 12 filled plastic eggs (with wrapped candy or prizes), and seal them with tape. The hunt will begin at 2:30.
