Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday!  We had a great day today!  We started our day with a fine motor activity, writing our name and cutting very carefully in a circular motion.  After we completed this activity, we did our Calendar and Daily News routine.  After that we enjoyed an indoor recess with Mrs. Snider's students.  After that, we had our reading groups focusing on the sound the letter /e/ makes.  We also worked on blending, sounding out decodable words and reading sight words. We also worked on our ABC book (an Easter Egg), writing the letter Ee and listening to a story.  After reading groups we learned what a number sentence is using an = and + sign with our number bonds.  We are now writing number sentences to go with the number bonds, for example: 3 + 2 = 5.

Tomorrow is Dr. Seuss' birthday, so we will be celebrating by doing some fun Dr. Seuss activities!

Reminders:
1) We have had some students have a lot of "toys" in their backpack and it has been difficult to get take home books and homework folders in and out of backpacks.  It is a school rule that toys stay at home.  If your child goes to a daycare where they can have toys, please make sure it goes to daycare and not school if possible.  Thank you!
2) Take Home Book Exchange is on Thursday!  Please make sure you have a note with your child's book!
3) Grandparents Day is March 18th from 8:15-9:00am for both AM and PM kinders!
4) Elementary BoundaryRecommendation Community Input Forums will be taking place on March 2nd at Mead High School and March 9th at Mt. Spokane High School. 
5) With the spring weather, please make sure your child has layers so that we can go outside.  We still need coats and hoods, so we can go outside to play.  Thanks!  :)  

Have a great evening!
~Love, 
Mrs. Wittwer
