Dear Parents,

We had a good first week back from Spring Break. The students were able to get right back into the swing things! This week we did some fun things with the Story if you give a mouse a cookie, we finished our chapter on sorting in math, and we have been learning about how to take care of our world. Below is a picture of the students painting their bird feeders and filling up our compost critter that we will be watching the next few weeks. 






Notes

·         For our classroom auction basket we will be doing an Art basket for kids. So you can send in items like watercolors, paint, crayons, paper, colored pencils, ect. Thank you everyone for your support!
·         Faith Baptist is inviting families to join us for Mother’s Day. Students who are able to come will get to do some songs for everyone, and there will be a cute video to watch!
·         On May 8th, our Kindergarteners will be holding a Mother’s Day tea for all of our wonderful mothers, and grandmothers! I hope everyone can make it, it is a very special day.
·         As most everyone knows I will be on my maternity leave in 2 weeks. To make it easier on my sub, I am going to collect our Dr. Seuss reading bags before I leave. Please have them returned no later than Wednesday April 29th. If you somehow lost it or can’t find a book, you can donate a book to our classroom library instead of buying the book. I buy these books with my own money normally second hand books. So if you lost them it would be much appreciated if you could donate a few back if you can’t find yours. Thank you!
·         We have another Writer’s Celebration this Friday. As always all parents are welcome to join us. What we normally do is students sit in two circles and they read their favorite writing to each other. They love when there are adults to read to too. After we have some sort of treat and juice to celebrate our hard work.

Reading
Next week we will be focusing on punctuations marks, reading fluently, and how to visualize as we are reading.

Math-
Next week we will be starting our chapter on position. You can help your child with this concept by pointing to different objects and asking is it on top of, over, under, inside of ect?

Social studies
Next week we will be finishing up our Earth day unit. I love how the students get into it! 

They are writing books about it during writing, and making sure everyone is recycling the things they are supposed to!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Mrs. Lee
