TOMORROW IS SHOW AND SHARE. X IS A CHALLENGING LETTER. YOU MAY SHARE SOMETHING THAT ENDS OR BEGINS WITH X, SOMETHING THAT IS OVAL OR SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH OUR NEW LIFE CYCLE UNIT.
STORIES OF THE WEEK
STORYLINE This is a great website that features virtual story times.
This week please view ...
LETTER of the WEEK : Xx
Write the letter X. We verbally say, "Start your letter at the top, slide a long diagonal line down and then leap frog your marker or pencil back to the top a space away from your diagonal line and slide another long diagonal line down backward, crossing through the first diagonal line and stop." Draw a picture of something that begins with X; or for tactile learning, shape the letter X in play dough or a small plate of salt or flour, or use 2 straight objects to form an X.
MATH

SCIENCE
Chick Journals were mailed out to everyone on April 1. Please email Ms. Kate if you did not receive your journal. We will begin the countdown calendar on Terrific Tuesday. You may open the journal to the page with the parts of a chick and complete that page.
CREATIVE ART

MUSIC or MOTOR: I know a Chicken, By Laurie Berkner
BONUS MATERIAL
Using a set of 5 plastic Easter Eggs, fill each with a different number of items 1 through 5. Hide the eggs and have your child hunt for the eggs. Open each, lining the items up on a piece of paper and then write or trace the number of each item in the eggs. Some ideas for stuffing: pennies, paper
clips, buttons, goldfish crackers, stickers, etc.
Sink or Float Predictions with Plastic Easter Eggs. Experiment by filling plastic Easter eggs with items of different weights to test if they sink or float. This can be done in the bathtub or in a large bowl of water. Pro tip: have a towel near by. Some items you may use are pennies, paper, plastic beads, a bouncy ball, a lego.
