Kindergarten Newsletter for March 30 - April 3, 2015

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.

LAPSK Auction Night: Tickets for this fun event are on sale now. With your ticket you will get dinner/drink and a coupon for bowling (to be used with your family at the next visit.) This is a grown-up only evening. Prices are $18 per person or $34 per couple until April 10th. After that they will be $22 per person or $40 per couple.

Class Basket: We will take your donations up until this Friday, April 1st. The theme of our class basket is “Kindergarten’s Favorite Things.”

Other Fundraisers:
- Box Tops for Education,
- Fred Meyer (you can support our school by going to https://www.fredmeyer.com/topic/community-rewards-4 and adding Little Acorn to your rewards account),

- Shoparoo: Little Acorn is now a member of Shoparoo (shoparoo.com). You can download the Shoparoo App to earn points for our school.

Volunteering: If you would like to volunteer in class and come see what your Kindergartner is doing, we would love to have you on Fridays. Your time in class is very helpful. 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. 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.

Sickness: If your 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!

Thank you for sharing your child with us,
Teacher Sinead & Teacher Caroline
