NEWS FROM KINDERGARTEN:<br />
Spring has definitely sprung! The unusually warm weather has everyone wondering if this is<br />
too good to be true. No more snow pants No more hat and mittens The children look<br />
confused when we tell them to just head outside, no coats needed! Hopefully it will last.<br />
We would, however, like the children to bring boots on rainy days. A second pair of tennis<br />
shoes would also be helpful.<br />
The kindergartners have been working on spring related activities, kites, rainbows and pots<br />
of gold line the hallway bulletin boards. The mischievous Leprechaun visited a few of the<br />
classrooms. He can leave quite a mess! Kindergarten teachers have been busy completing 3 rd<br />
quarter assessments. The children will have a dictation and composition assessment along<br />
with addition and math story components. Your child’s reading ability will also be noted on the<br />
report card.<br />
We wish everyone a safe and wonderful<br />
Spring break!<br />
NEWS FROM 1ST GRADE:<br />
<strong>March</strong> has been a busy, exciting month. We started off with “Read Across<br />
America Week” with our fun dress up days to honor Dr. Seuss and all the books he<br />
wrote. All of the first grade classes emphasized the importance of reading the whole<br />
week. Our shared reading times have reinforced the importance of reading and<br />
friends with stories about getting along with others.<br />
Math time has been about learning a variety of skills: doubles addition facts, fractions<br />
(halves and fourths), shapes, circle graphs and probability, counting quarters, clocks<br />
(hour and half hour) and reading calendars. Problem solving with all those skills has also<br />
been emphasized.<br />
As we start our last quarter of school we want to thank parents for<br />
continuing to support their children by reading with them nightly and helping<br />
with other homework. As the warm weather and longer nights approach we<br />
know that it gets more difficult to continue with those habits. Thank you in<br />
advance for your vigilance with making sure your child gets enough rest and<br />
completes the nightly homework.<br />
