Dear Families,
Hope everyone enjoyed their Spring Break. We are so excited to have Ms. Cowherd coming from
UK extension office today. She will be sharing a story about planting seeds and then each child will get to
plant their own flower seeds afterwards. She will also being leaving each class with a plant to care for. I
think everyone will really enjoy this project.
Egg Hunt:
We would like to have an egg hunt this Wed., April 14th. Please bring 8 filled eggs with whatever
treat you would like to put in there (examples: candy, stickers, tattoos, ring, plastic animals….) by
tomorrow. This way everyone will find the same number of eggs. If you aren’t able to do this please let
us know so that we can make sure everyone has eggs.
Kindergarten Registration:
We are sending kindergarten packets home today; you do not have to come in for the
registration dates. Just fill out the information and send it back to school. Also, you do not have
to resubmit your child’s birth certificate, social security card, eye exam, physical, and
immunization (as long as everything is up to date). We will be sending all that information on
with your child.
Activities to do at home:
Next Thursday is Earth Day. For a family activity, REUSE household items and make an
art project. Send it in next week, so your child can share it with the class!
Here are some other ideas: plant flowers, start a vegetable garden, go on a nature walk and discuss
all the changes you see happening and listen to all the sounds of spring, and fly a kite! Enjoy
