Our last week of school in March felt like we only had about half of our class due to illness and spring break! Praying that you all have had the opportunity to rest and rejuvenate and spend quality time with your families over spring break! I will also be praying that we have a strong last nine weeks of school before your students officially become 1st graders! How can that be?!

IMPORTANT DATES:

• April 12: Author Kevin Kammeraad at school – I  have attached a link at the bottom if you are interested in ordering any of his books.
• April 12: School Auction

• April 26: Field trip to the Critter barn- I will be sending a sign up genius out soon for parent chaperones. The Critter barn has also informed us that they will now be requiring parent chaperones to pay the $7 fee. I wanted to inform you of this before I sent out the sign up.

Curriculum:

Bible: We started our study of the parables and making our parable bags. These are bags where we are making things to fill them with to remind us of each parable we study. This past week we learned about the following parables: The good Samaritan, The Lost Son and The wise man and the foolish man.

Word Wall Word: where (we are continuing working on words that start with the letters wh)

Phonics: This week we worked on listening to words to see if we hear any familiar sounds to help us spell similar words. For example if we know how to spell the word cat we could use that to help us figure out how to spell the word hat or mat.

Writing Workshop: We started putting our small moment stories on paper!

Math: We continued working on teen numbers as well as learning about different ways to make numbers. An example of this would be 4 and 3 make seven but also 5 and 2 etc.

Up in Lights: This week Emily Tubergan was up in lights. Her dad came to share about her and her grandma and brother came and had lunch with her. Her dad also brought her favorite treat, chocolate chip cookies, to share with the class. Emily has such a caring heart and is always willing to help anyone! We are so blessed to have Emme in our class!

Afternoons: This week we were able to do our usual afternoon activities as well as some math centers as well as cleaning out our old books from our book boxes so we can replace them with new ones after spring break!
