Class Notes

Dear Families,

Even though it was a short week, we packed in so much fun! The children LOVED reading Dragons Love Tacos. Be sure to ask your kiddo what happens when the dragons eat spicy salsa… 🔥🤭 You might get some very dramatic storytelling!

📸 Class Picture – Monday!

Just a reminder that Monday is our whole class picture day. We can’t wait to capture our sweet group together!

We officially wrapped up our Building Unit and are so proud of all the creative structures and teamwork we saw. Next, we are moving into our brand new Pets Unit! 🐶🐱🐰

To help us get started, if you have a pet at home, we would LOVE for you to send in (or email) a picture of your pet so we can share it with the class!

As we study pets, we will build skills in:

• Literacy

• Math

• Science

• Social Studies

• The Arts

• Technology

We will also be busy observing, investigating, asking questions, solving problems, making predictions, and testing our ideas!

🐾 What You Can Do at Home

• Notice pets in your community — at dog parks, on walks, in cars, or in homes.

• Talk about the kinds of animals you and your child like. How does it feel to interact with a pet?

• If you have a pet, invite your child to help care for it! Feed the pet together, refill water, and talk about what, how often, and how much your pet eats or drinks.

• Let your child watch (or help!) as you clean the pet’s habitat or groom them.

• Take photos or short videos of your child interacting with your pet — we’d love to see them!

• Look for books about pets at the library.

• Check out pet supplies at the grocery store.

• Watch how pets move and play — can your child pretend to move or sound like different animals?

• Keep a tally of the pets you see each day.

• Look for pictures of pets on signs when you’re out and about.

There are so many fun and simple ways to connect with this unit as we move along!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. We will see you Monday! 💛🐾
