4's Update




It was great to see everyone after spring break!  We had a very busy week.  Our unit of study is art, and soon your children will create their own art in the styles of the great masters.  You will be amazed! 
And now.... this week’s highlights.....
On Tuesday we had a hands on science lesson on Sink or Float from Mrs. Dashiell. 
On Wednesday Miss Laurie guided us through the process of making guacamole!  The kids mashed avocados, cut tomatoes, and squeezed a lime.  Add a dollop of sour cream and some spices and you have delicious guacamole!  Of course, we need tortilla chips for dipping. Well, the kid made their own chips!  Laurie had them cut unbaked corn tortillas using scissors.  Then they brushed on some oil and baked them.  The results were tasty, fresh chips! 
On Thursday Miss Kari came for a Spanish circle time.  The kids really enjoy playing games with her.  We also had the following centers:
1.  A card game about identifying initial and final consonant sounds.
2.  Practice writing numbers 1 – 5
3.  Using rainbow goldfish to sort, add and subtract – and then eat our answers! 
Here’s to more great weeks at TCNS!!
