2 AND 3'S

Just a reminder to have your child scribble on paper with pencil, pens, markers etc. So they will start getting used to holding a writing utensil. It is a very important skill that will need to be picked up by next year. They are doing great; I just want them to improve their control while writing. I feel this is the best way to do that!

BOTH CLASSES

We are also going to have a read a thon at the end of the month! It will be Friday May 1st. Have your child bring a blanket, pillow, and a few of their favorite books (labeled) please.

For our Easter Party, we will be having a jelly bean toss with water balloons, decorate Easter egg cookies, and having an Easter egg hunt! It’s going to be lots of fun. Everyone always asks what they can bring to help, so if you want to bring something for your child to share with the class at the party, you are welcome to do so! I will have drinks and all the stuff for cookies already.

*DURING THE WEEK OF THE 20TH -24 PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD WEARS SHOES GOOD FOR WALKING IN. WE WILL BE GOING ON A WALK EACH DAY TO PICK UP GARBAGE. THAT PEOPLE HAVE LITTERED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I WILL ALSO BE CHALLENGING THE KIDS TO DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR THE EARTH THIS WEEK. IF THEY DO, THEY WILL GET A REWARD. SO, IF YOU COULD HELP THEM OUT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT ALL KINDS OF THINGS THEY CAN DO AT SCHOOL!

4 Year olds are starting their New Hooked on Phonics workbooks this month! We will be going over sight words, and improving on their reading skills. You will also be getting a sight word each week that your child will put on a ring key chain, so they can review them each week.

We are starting subtraction this month as well. The kids are doing so great at Math!
