March has been a fun and busy month for us. We spent the month focused on our author study of Ezra Jack Keats. One of the highlights for the author study was having a Pet Show based on Ezra Jack Keats story Pet Show. Below are pictures of the pets and their prizes from the show.
We spent over a month reading and comparing stories by Ezra Jack Keats. The majority of them have the character Peter in the story. To the left I have a picture of the books with Peter. Ask your child to tell you the names of the other characters in each story, many overlap. As a connection we will be illustrating a picture of our homes using Keats' collage style. Below is a youtube video tribute to Mr. Keats.... I am sure your children will recognize many of the characters in the tribute. Please be sure to share the video with your child.
It was great seeing everybody at conferences this week. Please be sure to check out the list of upcoming Kindergarten curriculum that went home in your child's folder on Tuesday. Enjoy the pictures of some of the learning fun this week.
