Owl pellets

Dear mom and dad:

What an exciting day in kindergarten! Mrs. Monteith brought in some owl pellets and we dissected one together! Ask me to tell you what an owl pellet is! We were scientists today and sketched in our journals what we saw and wrote about what we noticed.

During centers, we had a chance to look at all of the different bones and try to guess which part of the animal the bone was. So cool!

We have more new centers today! Ask me to tell you what they are.

We also looked at problem solving in math.

Question of the day: how many legs are in your house? Post on the blog your answer and how you figured it out. 

Love,

Kindergarten

Housekeeping:

Our fieldtrip to the bird sanctuary is next week! Please review the letter that came home with the forms. It is an ALL DAY fieldtrip which means that your child will not come to school on a certain day.

AM fieldtrip: Wednesday April 6 8:15-2:57pm (entry at regular doors. Dismissal at red gym doors that we dismiss on Fridays). No school on Thursday April 7.

PM fieldtrip: Thursday April 7 8:15-2:57pm (entrance and dismissal at regular door). No school on Wednesday April 6.

Please note that your child will need to bring a snack and lunch. We have snack time 3 times throughout the day with only 15 minute increments. Please keep this in mind when packing your child's lunch. For example, a snack for the morning, a sandwich cut in two halves so they can have one half at lunch, and then eat the other half in the afternoon.
