Animals in Spring

We started off spring really quiet; I hope everyone was able to get a little rest with all the storms this past weekend.  We just finished our first week of animals in spring!  Next week we will be talking about pets.  Please remember to send your child to school with their favorite animal to share with the class. 

We are now in our second round of discussing Big and Little; Long and Short; and Tall and Small.  Ask your child to discuss these concepts at home.  Mommy has big shoes, I have little shoes.  Daddy is tall and I am small, I can make a long snake out of play dough and a short snake.

We had Ms. Erin come and sing some songs about animals in music this week.  We also got to try out a new instrument a drum with drum sticks!  It was loud to hear everyone play the drum, but great fun to see who could follow the beat of the music.

Please remember as our numbers increase to always, always, always label your child’s belongings.  We have had several students forget their jacket or lunch items.  If they are labeled this makes it so much easier for them to find their name.

As a reminder, ECS was challenged for each family to collect 25 box tops and send them in during the month of February.  If every student brought in just 25 box tops each, we would collect over 20,000 box tops in just one month, which would be more than $2,000 dollars.  We also encourage everyone to ask extended family to collect them as well.
