I apologize for the late posting this week, it's been a busy one so far :) I hope everyone enjoyed the three day weekend and there is another one for the students coming up. Monday there will be no school, the teachers are attending a conference for the Archdiocese.
Thank you to Mrs. McNamara and all the other parents who helped the class celebrate during the Valentine's Day Party! It was a lot of fun!
Here is a look at the remainder of the week...
On Friday we received our very first letter mailed back and yesterday we received two more! Thank you for taking the time to mail us our letters we really enjoy reading them.
We started letter Uu yesterday and we read our story "Tug" this week. I am very impressed with the progress in reading this year. Please continue to work with your child on the word lists sent home. I will be starting a take home reading program in the next two weeks. A letter will be sent home to explain.
Today was Ash Wednesday and the Preschool and Kindergartners were in charge. They did a wonderful job!
In your child's folder a "Lenten Promises" calendar was sent home. Please hang this calendar in a spot where your child can view it everyday and mark off when the promise is complete. We will be looking at each promise during circle time and discussing it.
In Math we are discussing four different geometric figures ~ the cone, cube, sphere, and cylinder. I told the students if they find something at home that is the same shape they are more than welcome to bring it in and share it with the class.
Friday ~ Great America Reading forms are due back. The ticket for Great America will be given out in May.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Dougherty
