We have some
exciting news!!! Little Acorn Preschool & Kindergarten was voted “Best Preschool” of Clark County by the Columbian newspaper! We are so excited
about this honor and have been getting a lot of interest on Facebook about our
school. You can check out all the winners at http://bestofclarkcounty.com/winners/2015.
Recap
Of Last Week: Last week we had lots of fun
exploring measurement and volume with beans. We also made another rainy day
scene and wrote about what we like to do when it is raining. For science, we learned
about what happens in the soil during the spring and had a great time making up
“dirt cups” to eat for snack.
Math & Science: We will
continue to explore volume and measurement with the cups, spoons and pitchers
in our sensory table. We will also be learning about eggs as part of our spring
theme.
Literacy:
Our sight words for this week ‘blue,’ ‘is,’ ‘it,’
‘said,’ and ‘see.’ Throughout the week students
make flash cards, figure out which words go in which shape box, make word
pyramids, match words in different fonts, and create their very own word search
to give to a friend to solve.
Writing: During writing
time we will be making sure to use finger spaces between our words. Our story
starter prompts this week will be “If I lived underground ...” and “The egg
hatched and …”
Social Studies & Art: We were
not able to make our kites last week, so we are going to make sure to get those
done this week. We will also be learning about eggs, and doing some experiments
with them.
Seussical Jr. Play: Our school will be attending the Seussical Jr play
presented by Journey Theater Company on Tuesday May 19th at 9:30, at the Fort
Vancouver High School theater. Tickets will be $6. Please sign up on the form
outside the classroom.

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

Your time in class is very helpful. You get a chance to see what our day is

If Fridays don’t work for you and you
would like to volunteer in the classroom, just let me know and let’s see if we
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.
Please
feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. Send a text, give me
a call, or you can email. I am here to help you and your child have a great
kindergarten year!
