Letter R – 3/10 – 3/14

3/14/25

Dear TK Families,

The TK children were all ready and raring to go for R week!  Rainbows, reptiles, a very busy TK robot workshop, and robots, robots EVERYWHERE!

Our big project this week was to design a robot from recycled materials! We first read some non-fiction robot books. We learned that robots are everywhere – in space, in the ocean, in car factories, in hospitals, in our homes, and in so many other areas! The boys and girls then thought about – What will my robot do? What makes my robot special? We put an array of recycled materials out on a few tables and the children went “shopping” to pick out what they wanted to use. After choosing their items, they got to work on designing and constructing their robot. There was a lot of gluing, taping, and cutting happening all over the classroom!

The culmination of this robot project was our TK Robot Exhibit on Friday. The children were SO excited to have the special people in their lives come tour our gallery. Thank you to all parents and family members for joining us! And THANK YOU for all of the recycled materials – we couldn’t have done this project without you! We truly feel so proud of all of their hard work. What a rewarding experience it was!

Did your child tell you about our “TK Rhyming Rap”? Each child came up with two words that rhyme and we added it to a fun song that we sang all week! Here are the lyrics:

“We are the TK Class and we know how to rhyme, when we call out your name you’ll know it’s your time!”

Ask your child what their two rhyming words were!

Next week, we will surely sail smoothly towards the letter S!

 

Have a lovely weekend!

Best,

Jessica & Lynn
