*Important: The elevator in the
building will be out of order this week as they wait on the replacement part to
repair it. Please remember that the elevator is for strollers, wheelchairs or
folks that cannot do the stairs. Kids should never be on it without an adult
and we would encourage you to have your kids with you, using the stairs before
and after school. Thanks for your help and sorry for the inconvenience during
repairs this week.
Recap
Of Last Week: Before our Spring Break we did some
‘egg-speriments’ with a Floating Egg and a Rubber Egg. The students had so much
fun predicting, observing and exploring what happens when you put eggs in
vinegar, water, salt water and a mixture of water & salt water. Check out
our Facebook page to see pictures of the experiments!
Math: We are going to introduce the
relationship between addition and subtraction with some activities about Fact
Families. For example the following equations make up a fact family: 2+3=5;
3+2=5; 5-2=3; 5-3=2.
Literacy: Our sight words for
this week ‘can,’ ‘come,’ ‘jump,’ ‘little,’ and ‘the.’ 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 talking more about when we use capital letters. Our story
starter prompts this week will be “I looked in the mirror and I saw ...” and “If
I could fly …”
Science, Social Studies & Art: We will be finishing up our class’ art project for the Auction.
During the week we will learn about a concrete truck and get to do some science
fun with our special guests. We will also begin learning about the life cycle
of butterflies.
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. This year our auction will be raising funds for a new outdoor
sign, a fantastic piece of equipment for the playground, as well as supporting
our scholarship program.
There are so
many items/baskets up for silent auction. The class
baskets will be on display this week outside the office. Watch out for ours - “Kindergarten’s
Favorite Things.” There will also be a canvas that our class created that will
be up for silent auction all week until Friday at Noon. It will be outside our
classroom.
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 new sign-up sheet is outside the classroom
for this trimester. 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
