K-4 Happenings
Mrs. Hornsby
April 13-17


We have completed our alphabet (A-Z). The children have done a great job! We will continue to review the letters until the end of the school year. We will review colors, numbers, phone numbers, days of the week, and months of the year as well.
This week we will review the vowels. Each day a different vowel will be discussed. I have several activities planned for review.
Beginning next week we will focus on thematic units. The first unit will be Signs of Safety. My next newsletter will outline the week in detail. As we begin the units, please ask your child questions each day about what they have learned. I know they will be excited to share with you!
Have A Great Week

K-4 Happenings
Mrs. Hornsby
April 06-09

This week the students will be introduced to the letter Z. We will begin our week by listing words on the board that begin with this letter. We will practice the sound and we will practice writing the Z. We will create letter Z rhyme books.
For our science activity we will explore zippers. The students will look at different zippers and compare lengths and colors.
For our art activity each student will make zipper rubbings. They will use different crayon colors and plain white paper for this activity.
On Thursday we will have our Easter Party.
The students will decorate Easter eggs and enjoy cookies and juice! Please send a bag of candy for the baskets which I will provide.
Thanks So Much,
Mrs. Hornsby
