April 22nd - April 26th

Roar! What is the largest member of the cat family? TIGERS! This week we will be learning and discussing all about tigers as we pounce into the book Tigers by Laura Marsh. We will use the text to understand how questions can help us learn more as well as how our vocabulary words help us retell the story.

endangered: risk of being extinct
prey: an animal being hunted, caught, and eaten by another animal
territory: a region that is marked and defended by a certain type of animal
camouflage: an animal’s natural color that helps them blend in

carnivore: an animal that eats meat

Here are just a few activities you can do at home with your child this weekend:

• Make a tiger using a paper plate. Color it orange. Add black stripes to it. Draw a face and make ears.
• We are also learning about growing and changing. Make a timeline of your life together.

For access to leveled books and their 20 minute reading time you could use:

The Gator Gala, our celebration of leadership and learning is May 9th. If you pre-order Chick-fil-a dinner on the grounds starts at 5. The event starts at 6. Our Kindergators usually start the show with the Pledge of Allegiance and Star Spangled Banner. Then families can complete different activities around the school as they learn about the wonderful things we did this year to promote leadership.

Addison students will perform the song "To Make You Proud" at the Gator Gala this year. Dr Champion, our music teacher, has placed a copy of the song on her BLOG if you wish to practice it at home: https://aesmusicroom.weebly.com/.
