We would like to thank our military parents for their service! We honored their families today by wearing the color purple! 2 kindergarten friends have parents in the military - they received a special award and bracelet!

In ELA this week, we read the story The Easter Bunny's Assistant.  While listening to the story, we worked on the strategies of predicting, retelling, cause and effect, and making connections.  We all thought this was a super silly story! Be sure to ask us our favorite part!

We also read a nonfiction story about skunks.  We learned so many amazing skunk facts! Did you know a baby skunk is called a kit?? Or that skunks can spray up to 10 feet!! Be sure to ask us what skunks like to eat!!
