Week of 4/8

Dear Sun Room Families, 

We are getting very excited about the Spring Time! We are talking about flowers, rain, animals and other exciting things we notice about this season. Take a peak below to see what the Sun Room children learned this week at Montclare.
 
Books we read:

• Spring, by Gail Saunders-Smith
• Splish, Splash Spring, by Jan Carr

 
 
Specialists we saw:

• In Library with Lindsay, we read The Adventures of Beekle The Unimaginary Friend, by Dan Santat 
• In Art Studio we stamped using various colored paints, creating beautiful designs and built with foam blocks. 
• In Music with Noel we sang, It’s A Small World, Take Me Out to the Ball Game.  

 
Classroom Activities:

• During Circle Time we played Match the Spring Flowers. The children took turns choosing a flower and matching it to the right color. 
• We created Spring Collages! The children chose a pastel color and painted their paper. Once it dried they added an assortment of springy colored materials such as pom poms, buttons and flowers. 
• Since we returned from break, beginning a new season, we decided to start fresh with new placemats. The children used teal, orange, yellow and green dot markers on white paper. Once dry, they glued different kinds of spring themed pictures to add to their placemat. 

 
Reminders:

• MCS will be closed on Friday, April 19th 
• Parent Teacher Conferences are April 25th and April 26th If you need a reminder of your time please let me know.
• Save the Date For The Central Park Zoo Trip! Monday, May 20th.

Enjoy the photos and have a lovely weekend!
 
Best Wishes, 

Sun Room Teachers
