Quick week!!

This week is going to be a quick one!  As I am sure you all know our school is doing a pennies for backpacks drive this week where your child is asked to bring in loose change for this great cause, remember the LPS backpack walk is on Saturday, April 11th and my family and I will be there and if you aren't busy I hope you will consider coming down to check it out!
But I also wanted to let you know about a grant Mrs. Schroeder and I wrote and are hoping to get the funds for. Below is the link to see our proposal- by no means do we want you to feel obligated to donate money but wanted you to be aware of our project we are hoping to do!

Also just a reminder this Tuesday is a PLC day so we get out early and Friday we have no school! And we have a lot to learn so there is no time to waste!

In math we will keep working on telling, retelling, and doing story problems and listening for those key words! As well as focusing on those teen numbers!!

In writing we will keep working on adding voice to our stories!! My friends are loving this writing trait!!

We are enjoying reading some great books and having conversations about how to stay healthy! We are working hard on our books and can't wait to bring them home to show you!

In literacy we will be learning two new words - help and too! I am sure we will he talking a lot about to, two, and too this week!!! We will also be starting to learn about long vowels and focusing on the long a! Our essential question is "how can you help out at home?" so you might have some extra great helpers this week-although hopefully it will last for more than just one week!!
Our vocabulary worlds are chores, contribute, member, organize, and accomplish. We will also be discussing prefixes and suffixes. We will be reading "Peter's Chair", "Helping Out at Home", and "The Clean Up". During guided reading your child will read either "Let Me Help You" or "How can Jane Help" and in our new crabby books they will read "Jake and Dale Help". It is going to be another fun week in kindergarten!
