April 4-7

This week in Social Studies the children will begin to paint and learn their Texas symbols. We will continue to read excerpts from Texas. In Nature/Science we will learn about Texas birds and read about Mockingbirds. We will read "Beaks, Wings and Tails" and "Look for Color" in our Christian Liberty Nature Reader. The children will also plant herbs into the garden. In Phonics/Language we will practice our spatial concepts as we have an "Over, Under" Relay and play a game with blocks. We will sing about Uncle Ugby as we practice writing the letter "u". In Art the children will create a sketch of a Pencil Cactus. In Music the children will move with the parachute and follow directions as we listen to Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings in C, op. 48. The Texas Field Day has been changed to Thursday, April 28th. We will be taking a field trip to Veterans Park next Wednesday, April 13th. We will leave at 9:30. The children will be going on an exploration through nature trails. We will play on the playground and eat lunch at the picnic tables. Please send a sack lunch and a water bottle. The children need to wear tennis shoes since we will be walking on the trails. We're planning lots of fun for the summer. Please turn in your registration form asap so that we will know how many to plan for when ordering crafts and making reservations for field trips.
