Week of March 11th
In Literacy we will continue our Happily Ever After series, with the story The City Mouse and the Country Mouse. The children will work with the square shape, short and long lines, and arrows.
The students will be introduced to the letter Vv this week.
Students will work on letter identification, formation, and the letter sound of Vv.
They will watch ABC Mouse and Captain Sea Salt for letter Vv. Students will be able to recognize, write, and learn the sound of the letter /v/.
In Math this week the children will continue with our unit on measurement. This week we will talk about weight, things that are heavy and light. Children will have hands on experience with heavy and light items.
In Religion we will continue to talk about trying to do good deeds every day, acts of kindness both in the classroom and at home. We will also learn about Saint Patrick through the book by Tomie dePaola and the children will then color a sheet on him.
We will also read fictional stories on Saint Patrick's Day.
Just a reminder that snack should be in a separate bag placed in your child's lunch box, along with their lunch food, including a drink for both.
If your child has food allergies, please bring in a bag with a few special safe treats for them to eat if we should have a birthday celebration. Thank you so much for your help with this.
Last week Maddie S. was our Star of the Week and we had fun learning about our classmate, Maddie.
Neil will be our Star of the Week this week. We can not wait to learn more about him.
