Tuesday- Spring Flowers

The kids are very proud of their spring flower pictures and poem. "Spring is for growing new things and I am growing too" We have been reading books about Spring and Easter. Today we read a funny book called "Bark, George." The kids loved it so much we had to read it twice. It is about a puppy who does anything but bark. It the end his mother says "bark, George, bark" and he says "hello." The kids walked around the rest of the day saying "bark, George, bark" "hello" and laughing. So, if they continue it at home, you will know where it came from. Silly fun.

The kids are enjoying reading books together for the Book It program. We write the names of the books on paper crayons and decorate our book it poster. Everyday we count them- great counting practice.

We also started our April book of the month "Five Green and Speckled Frogs" We select a different book each month to be our “Book of the Month.” During the month we read the book nearly every day. By the end of the month your child has it memorized. Memorization is one of the first steps in learning to read. At the end of the month, each child receives a copy to take home. Please enjoy having your child “read” the book to you.
