Weekly News - 3/1

This Week’s News:
Our base story this week is called “Five Little Ducks”. Our phonics focus is reviewing Cc, Dd, Ll, Kk, and Oo. We will also be working on comprehension. In math, our study will be 3 dimensional shapes. In Social Studies, we will talk about leaders and Texas symbols. We will start discussing weather in our science curriculum. For writing, we will complete another 4-frame as we extend writing.
Notes and Reminders:
We are really working hard now on writing first names correctly (uppercase, then lowercase letters). We will have to get it ready for first grade. I’ve told the children that it’s a matter of habit now. They just need to think as they write.
Upcoming Events:
You probably saw the flyer that came home in your child’s Thursday folder concerning Sports Day. Because of the growth of our school and enrollment, it will be on 2 different days this year. It will be on Thursday, March 11th for grades K, 1, and 2 and on Friday, March 12th for grades 3, 4, and 5. Watch for more information coming home about this.
Recipe Friday for this week will be “Hail Mix”. It it made with Kix cereal, powdered sugar, and caramel syrup.
Homework:
Our homework assignment this week is writing sentences using some word wall words. Some of the children also really need to work on reading the word wall list. Your child should know many of these by now. We will have spelling tests on some of these over the last nine weeks. We want to be ready for these.
Thanks!
