Recap
Of Last Week: Last week we drew leprechauns by
listening and following step-by-step directions. We also made rainy day scenes
for the art show. We had lots of fun weighing and measuring during our potato
exploration. We added a new station to our literacy time, where we do different
activities to help us learn sight words.

Thank you to everyone who was able to
come walk with us in the Hough St Patrick’s Day Parade and to those who came to
the Family Appreciation Breakfast & Art Fair.
***************************************************************************
Math & Science: We
will be learning about volume this week. We will have some measuring cups,
spoons and pitchers in the sensory table to explore with throughout the week.
Literacy: Last week we worked
on the sight words ‘a,’ ‘and,’ ‘here,’I,’ and ‘play.’ This week our words will
be ‘away,’ ‘big,’ ‘in,’ ‘red,’ and ‘run.’ Throughout the week students make flash
cards, figure out which words go in which shape box, make a word pyramid, and
create their very own word search which they will give to a friend to solve on
Friday.
Writing: We are starting
to ask students to dig a little deeper during writing time and add some more
details to their stories. Our story starter prompts this week will be “The wind
blew hard and the kite took me …” and “If I lived underground ...”
Social Studies & Art: We will
continue our spring theme this week by looking at what is happening beneath the
soil and by talking about windy days. For our food project, we will make “dirt
cups.” At the end of the week we will make kites.
Scholastic Book Fair: We kicked off our Book Fair at the Family
Appreciation Breakfast this week. It will be going on throughout this week
during drop-off and pick-up times.
Seussical Jr. Play: We will be attending the Seussical Jr play on
Tuesday May 19th at 9:30, at the Fort Vancouver High School theater. Tickets
will be $6. Watch for a sign-up to be out this week.

Volunteering: If you would like to volunteer in class and come

can find a time that does work with your schedule.

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.
