REMINDERS:
**Tomorrow is hat day!!!!!  Wear a cool, funny, cute, or crazy hat and send in a donation (up to $1) for the Edgerton Community Fund.
**I am missing several snack bags.  If your child brought home a bright green Piggly Wiggly bag, please return it to school with a healthy snack for 20 students!

This week:
We have been finishing up our Dr. Seuss unit.  We are also talking about bunnies, eggs, and chicks.  Your child brought home the Dr. Seuss journal that we have been working on this month.  Take a look through it and ask some questions about the Dr. Seuss books that we read.  In math, we have started chapter 11 which is all about addition.  We have been practicing simple addition all year, so this will be a review for us.  We are also reviewing topics such as symmetry, graphing, and patterns.  We made some fun art projects this week.  On Tuesday, we painted eggs and made them open up into either a bunny or a chick.  We made bunny bags to hold our projects from Friday.  We also printed eggs in computers.  We wrote clues for our classmates to guess whose picture and name were hidden beneath the eggs.  These turned out GREAT!!!  Some of our class' clues included "I am Irish" (Sam), "I have a lot of headbands" (Bella) and "I love horses" (Ellen).  We had a fun time reading this clues and guessing who was hiding.

We have a fun day planned for tomorrow.  In the morning, we will be joining the rest of the kindergarten classes to do fun spring projects in all the kindergarten rooms.  The projects will include a cotton ball sheep, a chick, a bunny, foil flowers, egg-dying, and some other fun things.  It is also hat day, so don't forget to wear your favorite hat.

April 2-6 is spring break.  Classes resume April 9!  Don't forget to write about your spring break in your journal and send it back to school.  We had such a fun time reading the journals from winter break.  I can't wait to hear about all the fun adventures when we get back!

After spring break, we will be starting our Mo Willems author study.  Mo is one of my VERY favorite authors.  I hope that our class enjoys his Pigeon, Piggy & Gerald, and Knuffle Bunny books as much as my kids and I do!  We have some fun projects planned to go with this unit!

Here are some pictures from some of our projects this week:
