Important Dates and Events

Valentine's Day- Thanks so much to everyone who helped with Valentine's Day activities and the party.  It was a great day filled with love and friendship!

100th Day- Our 100th day was a huge success!  Our little old people looked adorable and we had a great time counting and completing our 100th day activities.

Field Trip- Kindergarten is going on a Field Trip!  On March 24th we will go to the Smith Center to see Peter Rabbit! Please make sure to return your child's permission slip and donation if you haven't already.  Thank you!

Reading Group Books- All students should have a reading group book, please make sure that the book comes to school everyday!  Thank you!

Sharing Box-Today we start our sharing box.  From now on, when your child is the star student, he or she will get to bring home the sharing box to pack show and tell for the next day.  There is a letter in the box with details.  Please just make sure the sharing box comes back the next day so another student can have a turn.  Thanks!


What We are Learning…

Thematic Big Book/Shared Reading: This week we will read a story called What If You Had Animal Teeth?  We will study the purpose of teeth and compare the teeth of different animals, including humans!
Phonics:  We will work on handwriting, letter sounds and using letters and sounds to spell and read words.  
Writing: This week we will use graphic organizers to write stories with a topic sentence, three details and a closing.
Math: This week we are working to solving subtraction problems using manipulatives, pictures and number lines. 

Lexia- 
Lexia is a great way for your child to practice literacy skills at home! I would love to see your child spend at least 15 minutes working on Lexia each evening. If you have not started using Lexia at home, you will need your child's student ID and my email- jmelnyk@interact.ccsd.net.
