Is Spring really here? We keep saying it's here in Kindergarten, but the weather doesn't seem to be able to make up its mind. We are enjoying the blooming flowers that ventured out when the temperatures were a bit warmer.

We are finishing up our Health and Human Body unit this week. Children's paper bodies will be coming home next week! Ask your child to sing you the "Body Is the Temple" song. Songs are always a fun way to learn!

April is a busy month in kindergarten. We study about plants and growth. We have a store and learn to count money. This year we want to make a quilt to share with some boy or girl who needs one. If you hear of a family who has children and needs this kind of gesture of love, please let me know! I also am looking for someone with a quilting frame who can help us tie the quilt!

Memory Verse: "Those who follow My ways are happy." Proverbs 8:32. It's so fun to watch these kindergarten children look up these texts, mark them in their Bibles, and read the texts each day!

Monday, April 5, is Visitation Day at TCJA. I recommend that all current kindergarten students plan to attend 1st grade that day, even if they plan to be in K-1 next year. If you prefer that your K-1 students stay in kindergarten on visitation day, give me a call. I will keep them if you request it.

Service Field Trip - Tuesday, April 6, from 9:30 to 11:15, will be a service trip to help an elderly lady named Avis Meeks. Avis is in a wheel chair but lives alone in Richland. She needs help picking up leaves and weeding. We will be putting in a small area of fabric with a layer of bark to control weeds.

Parent/Teacher Conferences - April 7 and 8! School will dismiss at 12:30 on both days.

Happy Easter to each of you! Along with the eggs, chicks, and bunnies that remind us of Spring, let's celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus!
