Wow! It is 4th quarter already! The scholars are now expert kindergarteners. They know the procedures. They know the routines. They know the expectations of the classroom. (Whether they choose to follow those expectations, routines, and procedures is an entirely different matter. ;-) ) I had a talk with my students this morning about Spalding. They have now been introduced to all 70 phonograms. They will not be learning any new phonograms, just practicing the ones we have already learned and they get to learn how to spell harder words. The class was very excited!
PLEASE RETURN ANY BORROWED CLOTHES: Accidents happens, spills happen, and sometimes students get sick. When that happens, sometimes students have to borrow clothes from the nurse's office. Unfortunately she has not been getting a lot of the lender clothes returned. If your scholar had to borrow clothes from the nurse's office at any time this year, please be sure to send them back. When you do, please send us a quick e-mail letting us know to be on the look-out for them so we can make sure to get them back down to the nurse's office. You can also return any borrowed clothes to the main office and they will be sure to get them to the nurses office as well. LITTLE BEAR: We will begin reading the Little Bear books in two weeks. If your scholar does not have the Little Bear book set, please make sure to send them to school with your scholar by next Wednesday, March 28th!!! You can purchase the books at Barnes and Nobel in Goodyear or from Amazon. Please make sure the ISBN numbers match: Little Bear Boxed Set – Else Homlelund Minarik ISBN number: 9780064441971 GENERAL ACADEMICS: Spalding - Phonogram focus: /a/,/s/,/qu/,/b/, /e/, /h/,/i/, /j/, /k/,/l/ Word focus: have, are, had, over, must, make, street, say, come, hand Math - Addition Science - Magnetism History - George Washington Literature - Winnie-the-Pooh UPCOMING DATES: Restaurant Night: Wednesday, March 22 Read-A-Thon: March 22-April 5 Field Day: Thursday, March 30 No School: Friday, March 31 ON A PERSONAL NOTE: I hope everyone had a fun spring break. I know some people had to work and some people got to take trips. Several of my students spoke of being able to play a lot at the park. I had the pleasure of starting my spring break with the stomach flu. Working on evaluations and report cards while also having / recovering from the stomach flu is not something I recommend!!! :-P Luckily the rest of spring break was nicer as I got to take ballroom dance lessons, read books, sleep a lot, go to a late night movie with my son, and spend time with my parents. NAME THE GOOD: - I love being able to level students up with their books. I love the look and excitement they get on their faces when they get to move their name up to the next book. I love how excited they get for their classmates when their classmates level up!
