I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! It sure seems like March is coming in like a lion with the snow that is predicted this week. Yikes! Let's hope the saying is true and it goes out like a lamb!
Announcements:
Rest Time Reminder
On Friday the children brought home their rest time towels/blankets for washing. Please return a fresh towel or blanket to school on Monday. Due to our limited storage space, I am also asking the students to bring only one small or medium sized lovie for rest time if possible. Thanks so much for your help and understanding!
Parent/Teacher Conferences
Spring parent/teacher conferences are starting this week and will take place on Thursday, March 16th from 6-8PM, Friday, March 17th from 1:30-3:30PM, and Wednesday, March 22nd from 6-8PM. Please use the conference scheduler on the Boyden website to make an appointment to discuss your child’s progress. Appointments are filling up fast, so make yours ASAP if you have not already done so! I look forward to meeting with everyone soon!
Field Trip
On Friday, May 26th the kindergarten classes will be attending a stage performance of 'Pete the Cat' at the Veteran's Memorial Auditorium in Providence, RI. The total cost of this trip will be $20.00 and includes admission to the performance as well as transportation. A detailed notice and permission slip were sent home with your child on Friday. Please return permission slips and payment to school no later than Friday, March 17th. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
Curriculum Update:
Mr. Love Visits
We were very excited to welcome Mrs. Love back to our classroom last week! During her visit she focused on number writing and taught us some great number formation rhymes and stories! Forming our numbers correctly and making sure they are facing the right away are two skills we continue to focus on in class.
Literacy
Last week in literacy we read the story My Lucky Day by Keiko Kasza, and discussed the question, "What adventures can you have on a lucky day?". We also continued to review the sight words do, are, and that and also learned about the letter L!
Another highlight of our week was learning how to play "I Have, Who Has?". This is a great game as it can be played with many different skills and concepts we are learning about in class. Last week's game had us listening for letters in the alphabet!
Math
Last week in math we continued to decompose (break apart) numbers and learned all of the ways to make 6 and 7! We also practice writing the different ways using tricky number sentences which placed the sum and equals sign BEFORE the two numbers we were adding!
We also enjoyed completing ladybug themed math centers which tied in nicely since we were learning about the letter "L" in literacy!
Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at our week! Please check back soon to see all that is new in Room 202!
