Class Activities or News:
THANK YOU!
Your support of your child's learning is fantastic! I am receiving math home work and the Reading Logs and Weekly Book Reports from almost all the students. It is a great boost to their learning.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION: We have PE every Monday morning. Please make sure your child wears the appropriate shoes every Monday.
OTHER Reminders:
1. If there is a change in your child’s regular going home schedule, SEND ME A NOTE to let me know. I can not let a child not ride the bus on their verbal, “My mom said I ……”. We are responsible for your child’s safety and take it seriously. A late change can be made through the school office.
2. Please put your child’s lunch money in an envelope or baggie with their name on it. It prevents confusion and helps our morning prep go smoothly.
3. Please check the green folder daily. I do. That is where I expect to receive notes and money from home.
4. Some of the green folders are really shredded. Please replace them with another green folder if you can. Thank you!

NO SPELLING for the week of March 8 - 12
Writing: We are continuing to grow as writers through stories and letters . The children were excited to receive a letter form our fellow classmate who moved to Tacoma. We will be writing letters to him next week. We continue to comparie literature and
identify the stories settings, characters, and plots. We also are talking about the authors purpose for writing!
Daily readinglogs are coming back each week with 10 minutes + daily reading time. Thank you for your support of the READING PROGRAM!!!
Language Games: Playing rhyming games or reading nursery rhymes helps keep their language (ear)skills strong. Make up silly rhymes or tongue twisters for fun. Rememebr the game Hang Man or I Spy? They are both excellant games for language as well as family fun.
Math work:
Math Home Links go home regularly now. You should see at least 3 a week.
TIME and MONEY are the hardest concepts for your child to learn. To help your child with money and time, give them time limits and allow them to use money to pay for special items. For example:Talk about time left to play, before clean-up and being ready to go. When shopping point out prices on tags and ask how much money they need to pay for that item. Do they have enough? Need more?
Thank you for working with your children and supporting their learning.
