What’s in Store for PK4 & More

Mrs. DeMarsh

March 19-23, 2018

This week we will meet Ms. V. This letterperson wears a vegetable vest. She grows vegetables from seeds in her garden. Ms. V loves eating colorful vegetables and has a vegetable stand for all to enjoy. We will be working with the number 11 this week and have some fun Easter activities as well!

& MORE… This week, we will continue working on our program songs. After our spring program, we will begin looking at early literacy booklets, that we will practice during the week and bring home on Fridays. We will workshop this week, creating a timeline of Jesus’ life. During science workshop, we will see a volcano in action! During centers, we will create our letter V alphabet book page, work with writing on our play-doh #11 mats, create our own volcano scene with streamers, and paint a collage with Easter eggs. At group art time, we will make a volcano and an Easter basket full of eggs. Also, we will read The Magic School Bus Blows Its Top and The Easter Bunny That Overslept.

In Jesus Time we are going to begin talking about the Easter story. Jesus took our punishment for our sins and died on the cross so that we may have eternal life in Heaven with Him. What an amazing love!
