Recap
Of The Week: We had an exciting week with lots of
visitors and special snacks. The students were very good audience members for
each one of the presenters. It allowed us to ease back into our school routines
after the break and we are ready to get back to more learning this week!
LAPSK Auction
Night: We want to say a big Thank You to our Kindergarten
families for supporting the Auction/Dinner at Big Al’s on Saturday. It was a
fun-filled night with lots of food, drink and bidding on some great auction
items. We would love to hear any feedback you have about the event, especially
if you have any suggestions to help us make it even better for next year.
Math: With all our visitors during
our busy week last week we did not get to Fact Families, so we will be working
on those on Monday and Tuesday. Later in the week we will be studying symmetry
by making symmetrical shapes with rubber bands on geo-boards and completing a
detailed drawing to make it symmetrical.
Literacy: Our sight words for
this week ‘down,’ ‘find,’ ‘look,’ ‘three,’ and ‘to.’ 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 concentrating on correct letter formation, in addition to
encouraging students to add more details to their stories. Some students will
finish up the prompt “If I could fly …” on Monday. Our story starter prompts
for the rest of the week will be “My favorite snack is ...” and “My favorite
animal is …”
Science, Social Studies & Art: Our caterpillars have arrived!! So we will be watching closely
as they grow and form their chrysalises. We will make symmetrical butterfly art
projects and a daffodil spring scene too.
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.
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.
Little Acorn Mascots: Our
school has two new furry friends! Sam and Sally are sweet stuffed squirrels who
love to travel. If you would like to take Sam or Sally to travel with you on
your next trip just ask Katie in the office!
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
