Recap
Of Last Week: We had lots of fun working together
to build with 100 solo cups. The students really did an excellent job
cooperating as they created different structures. We also learned about keeping
our teeth healthy and had a visit from a dentist.
Math: This week we will continue to
work on subtraction. Students will show subtraction by drawing pictures and by
‘taking away’ cubes and counting bears.
Literacy: We will begin to
work with sight words this week. We will play the game ‘boom,’ where students
will pull sticks and read the words on them. If they can read the word, they
can keep the stick; if they can’t they must put the stick back; and if they get
a stick that says ‘boom,’ then they must put back all their sticks. This will
allow students to have some fun while learning their sight words, but also how
to be a ‘good sport.’ As Monday is Dr. Seuss’ birthday, we will also be talking
about rhyming a lot this week.
Writing: As students develop
as writers, we are encouraging them to use capital letters, finger spaces and
periods in the appropriate spaces. We continue to urge them to ‘guess and go’
to sound out their words, and are encouraging them to add details to their
writing when they can.
Social Studies, Art & Science: This week we will be doing some fun art projects around our Dr.
Seuss theme. We will make Lorax faces and pairs of feet to go on our bulletin
board. At the end of the week we will make Ooblick.
LAPSK Auction
Night: Mark your calendars
for Saturday April 18th and make plans to join us for the LAPSK Silent
Auction & Dinner at Big Al’s. Ticket prices are $18 per person or $34 per
couple until April 10th. After that they will be $22 per person or
$40 per couple. This is an adult-only
night, and a night where we can have lots of fun, play games and have a good
time. **Families who purchase auction tickets will get free bowling coupons.
Class
Basket: The theme of
our auction basket is going to be “Kindergarten’s Favorite Things.” We will
have a sign-up sheet outside the classroom this week for you to donate items
that the students have chosen as some of their favorite items from this year.
We will take your voluntary dontations up until April 1st.
