“LAMB-like” weather report in the weeks ahead! J

    Play…Anatole on Tuesday, March 4^th and two workshops…Monday, March 3^rd and Friday, March 4^th!

    St. Patrick’s Day Celebration, March 17th

    This month our community center will become a Shoe Store and Puppet Theater

        

 

During March we will be introducing the following Letter People.  We’ll give you some hints about them, but please keep this TOP SECRET!  (I think some of you are giving information out J.)We’re just sharing this with you now so you can ask your child about the Letter Person and if they don’t give you an answer, you can help them think of the answer because you know a little about the letter!

 

Mr. R loves rainbow ribbons which he wins for the remarkable red roses he raises.  He keeps rabbits and raccoons away from his roses.  He has 2 capital R’s on 2 of his rainbow ribbons on the front of his shirt. 

Mr. B wears beautiful buttons from his head to his toes!  He has 2 capital B’s hidden on buttons on his front and one lowercase b on his back.  He loves birthday parties!  Mr. B finds it hard to share his buttons, but he tries to have “beautiful behavior”.  He likes to ride his bike everywhere.  We’ll talk about bike safety.

Mr. C wears a colossal cap to cover himself because he is shy.  We’ll be focusing on the hard “c” sound which he shares with Ms. K.  Mr. C’s hidden lowercase c letters can be found in his ear and on the back of his head.

 

Thanks to those of you who send things that begin with the letter of the week…it is a great re-enforcement!

LIBRARY TIME

We hope your child is enjoying the books they are able to check out of the libraryJ.  We hope you are taking the time and enjoying the time you have reading togetherJ!  If your book is lost or damaged, the school will send you information on how to replace the book. We ask that you respond as quickly as possible.  It is very difficult for our children when they can’t check out a book.

Thank you to Parker and Chase’s dad, Johnny’s grandmother, Kaitlyn’s mom and Treys’ mom for reading to our friends during our Library Time on Mondays!  The children love having their parents read to their friends at schoolJ. 

Valentine Party

Thanks for all your help making our Valentine’s Day celebrations a great success!  Thanks to our parents for sharing their love and time and/or treats at our Valentine’s Party! We really appreciate your helping out…the children had a great time and we are so thankful that you share your time and talents with us!  We had….FunJ!  

 

Things to Come…

·         We will begin our unit on Rhyming this month and also take part in something called the Nursery Rhyme Olympics…please watch for anything and anything that has to do with rhyming coming home to review! Practice finding rhymes at home as you go about the day!

·         Please look for a phone call to remind you of your turn to help out for the St. Patrick’s Day and Easter/Spring Celebrations!  If you have not had a chance to help out yet please feel free to let us know…we want everyone to have the opportunity to do so and we want everyone to do their share.

·         Also, please remember to have snacks ready to serve…many have done that and it’s great! It takes less time away from our children when I don’t have to prepare a snack…Thank you!

·         Label clothing…so many mittens, hats, etc. are left behind and many children do not know if it is theirs!  So please label clothing and if your family is missing something please be sure to check out the school’s lost and found located off the main hallway or the one I have in my room…there are enough clothes in the lost and found to clothe a small army!

·         Keep practicing those letters and sounds and name writing! Report cards come out at the beginning of April!

·         Check the WAWM and Mitchell Elementary School websites and facebook pages for school information and important messages…and don’t forget to check out my blog for the cutest pics!

·         Read every night to your child!
