KINDERGARTEN NEWS
Updated: October 2008
Dear Parents,
We would like to thank all of you for contributing to the success of your kindergarten student. As part of the partnership we share with you as teachers, we would like to keep you informed regarding the science we will study this month.
The kindergarten will discuss and describe the effects of oil pollution to wildlife. Our goal is to increase students' awareness of how oil pollution can affect the environment, along with learning about the proper way to dispose of and recycle oil.
We will conduct an experiment using feathers, water and oil. Through this hands-on activity, children will see and feel the damage done to wildlife when oil makes contact with feathers.
To extend this activity at home, have a discussion with your child about wildlife and their habitats. Another suggestion would be to go for a walk and be an observer of other types of pollution you find along the way. Keep in mind that these are only suggestions, and young children's minds will continue to stay sharp if they simply remain active from day to day. Seemingly basic activities are wonderful ways for children to observe their surroundings, express their thoughts, and use their brains to come up with solutions.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Helen Krajewski
Mrs. Judy O'Sullivan
