Recap
Of Last Week: Last week we made a Lorax and wrote
about how we would take care of the earth. We also continued working on
subtraction and began using rulers to measure. On Friday, we got to experience
Oobleck, and discussed whether it is a solid or a liquid.
Math: This week we will do more
activities with subtraction. We will be doing assessments with addition,
counting in writing and writing numbers when they are dictated.
Literacy: Please practice
reading those mini-books as they come home. Encourage your child to sound words
out aloud, and to blend the sounds smoothly so they can hear what the word is; i.e.
‘flllaaap’ instead of ‘f-l-a-p.’ As students encounter longer words to sound
out, it is easier for their brain to put words together if they are doing so
smoothly. We will continue to play the “boom” sight word game this week.
Writing: Last week we
read ‘Oh The Thinks You Can Think’ by Dr. Seuss, and we will be really
encouraging students to dig deeper to find topics to write about. We will also
be doing assessments to see what sounds and letters students can write when
they are dictated.
Social Studies, Art & Science: We will read about Wind this week, and make a windsock. In
honor of St Patrick’s Day, we will make some leprechauns to hang on our
bulletin board.
Hough St Patrick’s Day Parade: On Tuesday, March 17th, our school
will be walking in the Parade to celebrate St Patrick’s Day and our community.
The parade starts in front of Hough Elementary and makes a loop through the
neighborhood, onto Main Street and back to the school. It is a very easy walk and
strollers are welcome! Please come with your family and show support for Little
Acorn by joining us in the parade. As always, parents are responsible for
transportation and supervision of their children during the event.
Family Breakfast & Art Show: We would love for you and your family to join
us on Saturday, March 21st, to celebrate the Children’s Art and Our
Families.

Your time in class is very helpful and you get a chance to see what our day is
like and how your child is interacting. A sign-up sheet is outside the classroom.

Kindergartener is sick, please call the school office, or you can send me an
email or a text so we can keep track of illnesses.
