News of the Week

News of the Week

THANK YOU! Thanks so much to everyone who came in and read to our class for Nevada Reading Week.  We really enjoyed hearing stories read by so many family and friends.  Activities like these go a long way when it comes to developing a love of reading.

Self Portrait T-shirt.  These are very special shirts that we would like students to wear for kindergarten promotion.  If you would like to purchase a shirt please fill out the form and return it with your payment as soon as possible. I have my shirt from last year if you would like to see what it looks like.  They are really cute!




Backpacks-  Please go through your child's backpack tonight.  Lots of papers are coming home today.  Thank you!

Leprechaun Traps-  The Leprechaun Traps are amazing!  I'll post pictures and share on Thursday.  Great job parents!

Blue Ribbon Shirts-  Our school is selling Blue Ribbon Shirts.  A paper went home today.

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- There are no reading group books this week, instead we will be reading a reader's theater.  Look for it to come home Tuesday or Wednesday.  Thanks!

Snacks-  Our class is getting low on snacks!  Thanks!


What We are Learning…

Thematic Big Book/Shared Reading: This week we are reading and comparing different versions of The Three Billy Goats Gruff.

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.
