Spring Brings...

We experimented with colors for St. Patrick's Day. I spread out papers and non traditional painting supplies )Q-tips, pipe cleaners, sponges, beans, straws...) and squirted blue and yellow paint on the papers. We experimented to see what would happen when we mixed them together...they were SO excited when it turned into green!

We never found the pot of god at the end of the rainbow, but we sure did enjoy these rainbow cupcakes! They turned out so cute, they were pretty easy to make...and they tasted great too!

We have had a busy couple of weeks in the Dinosaur class. We've learned about manners and about growing up, we have learned about the colors of the rainbow and what types of things happen in spring, we have tried to catch a leprechaun and been left with a huge glittery mess! It has been so much fun!

Today in class we made books titled "Spring Brings..." We read these books several times in class and everyone was SO excited that they were reading all by themselves, here are a few videos of your eager readers...aren't they precious?



Due to an unfortunate misunderstanding I will be leaving Curtis' Kindergarten sooner than anticipated. I was planning on teaching through the summer, Mrs. Wendy thought I was only here until the summer, so she hired a new teacher to take my place. When we figured out we had gotten our lines crossed it was too late. I had to start looking for a job for the summer, when I found a job they said they could not hold it for me until the summer so I have to start immediately. April 9th will be my last day as the Dinosaurs teacher, I will tell the class on Monday.I am SO sad to leave, I wish I could stay with your kids as long as they are here, I love them so much! I really do feel so blessed to have grown to know and love your kids! I wish that I could stay, but unfortunately it just isn't going to be able to happen. Your kids are SO full of love I know that they will do great with their new teacher! I will still be in Searcy, so hopefully I will see you around town often, and I am sometimes available for babysiting and tutoring!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

We celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday last week and it was a blast! Thank you so much to everyone who brought books and movies for us, we really had a great time learning about Dr. Seuss!
We made hats on "Cat in the Hat" day. They were precious!

On Wednesday we all wore green! We read "Green Eggs and Ham" and then ate green eggs and ham for snack with a cup of green milk! We also read "Bartholomew and the Oobleck" in class and made green slime!





Dr. Seuss week was so much fun! We are learning about the letter W this week and going to be talking about growing up. If you have pictures of your child when they were a baby or toddler that you would like to send in we are going to be talking about how much we have grown and it would be neat to be able to compare ourselves now to what we looked like when we were younger!

Parent teacher conferences are next week. This is actually a very important conference because we will be discussing kindergarten readiness. I will have your child's Curtis Kindergarten portfolio at the conference and I will be ready to discuss strengths and weaknesses and what your individual child needs before starting kindergarten, if you have anything you would like to bring to the conference that is fine. I am really excited to get to talk to each of you! I have scheduled each conference for 20 minutes, if you anticipate needing longer than that please let me know in advance so that I can adjust the schedule. My conference schedule is posted on our class board by the hooks, please sign up for a time by this Friday (3/12) so that I will have everything ready and prepared for your conference. If you are not available at any of the posted times please contact me A.S.A.P, we are required to meet together before March 18th so we will need to work something out as quickly as possible. I can't wait to get to tell you how amazing your kids are at school!
