Dear Families,
During Pp week we acted out the story The Three Little Pigs. They liked hearing Mr. Foster read The Principal’s New Clothes and The Principal from the Black Lagoon. We learned about the Presidents. Thursday was Dr. Suess’s 101st birthday, and we celebrated by working on a Cat in the Hat activity with the fourth graders. Centers included painting, counting and patterning, the Pizza Palace, giant floor puzzles, a pet paper, pattern blocks, and legos.
This week we did not learn a new word. We did review the words we already learned. We did work in the workbooks at sounding out easy short vowel words. The booklet Mud Fun was read and sent home. Do not panic if your child seems to take longer to learn the words. Each child learns at a different pace, and some children need to practice more than others. We will keep working here at school. It does help if you keep practicing at home. There is homework this week. Check it out!
Next week we will be studying the letter Kk. For sharing boys and girls need to bring something that begins with the letter Kk.
Remember that Kindergarten Roundup is scheduled for the week of May 1st. The current kindergartners will not be coming to school at all that week so that we can get to know the future kindergartners and their families. Students will not have school on Friday, March 17th so that the teachers can attend many important meetings. Please mark your calendars!
We have several children with summer birthdays that would like to celebrate their birthday during this school year. If you have one of those children, we can arrange a day for them to celebrate. It is a big deal to them because they get to be the leader that day and have the birthday song sung to them. Let us know in a note if your family would like to pick a day. We like to arrange these ahead of time so that we don’t put two on the same day!
We hope that your weekend is perfect!
