Well, I was hoping we were finished with snow pants and boots, but Mother nature has different plans!  Please continue to send all outdoor wear until further notice!

Please make sure your child has an extra set of clothing in their locker.  I will try and write a note if you need to send one in!

Send in March Book-it calendars.  This is the last month for it!

We will be reading stories about day and nighttime skies.  Our big book this week is Bringing Down the Moon.

We will be reviewing u,g,w,x,v,j,qu & z.  We are finished with the alphabet now!  This week we will edit our handwriting books and our dictionary and they will be coming home along with the ABC sound book they made at the beginning of the year.  Hang on to these books so the children have them to review over the summer!  Good summer homework so skills aren’t lost over the summer break!

WRITING:  We write in our journals every day!  We will also begin writing opinion letters.

SCIENCE & SOCIAL STUDIES:  We are finishing up weather and beginning our sun and how important it is to us and the earth.  We are also working on our map books and bringing them home when finished!  The children have learned how to look for the sun in the morning to determine the east, mid-afternoon for the south and later afternoon closer to dinner time for the west!  They know the sun rises in the east and sets in the west and we don’t have sun in the north sky!
