Week of April 18th

There will be no homework this week for the short week, enjoy your break! Please try to read with your student every night and review letters and letter sounds whenever possible. I know many of you are going out of town, there are lots of fun letter games to play in the car or on a plane!
We had a wonderful field trip to Old Pueblo Grille last Thursday. The kids loved it and had the chance to see how a real restaurant and kitchen works. The weather was beautiful at the park and we also got some great pictures for our end of the year slide show!
In class this week we will be reviewing numbers and letters and doing fun centers. Wednesday is Jump for Heart and Walk for March of Dimes and we will be on the back field doing some activities to raise awareness for these causes.
Wednesday is also Jersey/Sports Day at school. Your student may wear jeans with a jersey or sports top to school that day. This day kicks off our Spirit Week which will continue into the next week when we come back from break.
Have a great break and we will see you back for school Tuesday, April 26th!

Week of April 4th

We are taking a field trip to the Old Pueblo Grille on Thursday, April 14th. The cost is $2 and permission slips were sent home last Tuesday. If you did not receive one for some reason please let me know and I will get one to you right away. Please have slips and money turned into me by Friday, April 8th. We will be using playing cards to quickly identify numbers to 10 and if they are more or less than this week. In order to have enough cards we will need each student to bring in a pack of playing cards. Have fun with it and bring in a fun, colorful pack of cards as soon as possible. In class this week we will be learning the letter Q and starting our restaurant unit. We are doing lots of reading and writing and are becoming pros at our writer’s workshop. We are still working on addition problems and basic patterns. We are also working on counting by fives and identifying nickels. We have begun to write our numbers to 100 and are practicing counting everyday. I am happy to see that so many students are practicing their writing and filling out their reading logs on their own. Please keep turning those reading logs in, I love to see what you are reading! Please start working with your student on their address and phone number. It is important that the student knows the address of the home that they are at most often and phone numbers that will be easiest for them to get a hold of someone. I know many students have two addresses so please practice both but make sure they know the primary address. I am looking forward to another great week!
