Week of March 25- 29, 2019

Weekly Newsletter for March 25-29, 2019

            We will begin our new story, “Honey Bees,” this week!  We will discuss how insect communities are like a community of people.  We will also revisit the skill of compare and contrast!  Our high frequency words are family, other, also, their, some and new. 

            Our focus phonics skills are the Long E sound and syllables VC/CV.  The spelling words for this story are: feet, he, see, we, green, me, she, tree, week, and be. Our challenge words are “some” and “family.” 

            In Math, we will continue to work on time and begin measurement!  This week we are focusing on working with “half past” or “thirty” on an analog and digital clock.  We will also begin to discuss measurement using different items to measure with!

            In our Friday Folders, I sent home permission slips for our upcoming Field Trip to Hershey’s Chocolate World!  Our trip is on Wednesday, April 3^rd.  If you have not returned your child’s permission slip, please do so by Thursday, March 28^th!

            Our PTO is hosting a basket raffle event!  The event will be held on April 27^th and April 28^th.  Each classroom has selected a theme to donate towards the basket raffle.  This year, our theme will be Gift Cards Galore!
