Letter Q Week

3/6/26

Dear TK Families,

It was quite a week in the TK classroom as we created a beautiful question quilt, learned why Q and U are best friends, played a “quicksand” game, celebrated our 100th day of school, and tossed some quarters!

One of our Star activities this week was our TK Question Quilt! We talked about the 5 words that usually begin a question: who, what, where, when, and why.  At the art table, each child first chose another child’s name from a basket. The next step was to come up with a question that they were going to ask that child. What’s your favorite color? Who is in your family?  After they received the answer, he/she told one of the teachers who wrote the question and answer on a piece of paper. The last step was to draw a picture having to do with the answer! Ask your child if they can tell you what question they thought of and what question they were asked. We then assembled this beautiful quilt using yarn. So fun!

Can your child tell you why Q and U love each other so much? We have been talking a lot about how Q doesn’t ever go anywhere without U. We are sure you have heard all about the Q and U wedding that happened in our classroom this week! The children were invited to take a seat, throw confetti down the aisle, and watch and Q and U were joined together forever! (Haha!) After the “ceremony”, we had a lovely snack reception to celebrate! So much fun!

The children LOVED our new quicksand game! Once assembled, they had to put their playing pieces on top of the sand. Each person took a turn and pulled out a stick from underneath the sand. As the game continued and more sticks were pulled out, the sand started falling through the cracks and the pieces began sinking – oh no! Ask your child if they played this fun game.

At M & M table, the children enjoyed a quarter toss! We set up 2 targets at each end of the table and the children practiced underhand tossing. How many quarters did your child get in? This was definitely a tricky task!

Questions to ask your child:
1. What details did your child add to their March self-portrait?

  1. Can your child tell you about our 100th day snack?
  2. Did your child play in our “quarry” this week? What did we have in there? (rocks and trucks!)Rainbows, railroads, and ROBOTS, ROBOTS, ROBOTS as we reach letter R next week!

    Enjoy your weekend!

    Best,
    Lynn, Mandee and Emily
