Leap Year!

Can you even believe it is seriously almost March?!?  THANK YOU to everyone who attended conferences last week.  I appreciate you coming to hear all of the wonderful things we are doing.  Please let me know if you ever have questions or concerns at any time! 

 

As you know we will be having spring break in just a week. That means we are at the end of 3^rd quarter already ( I know... I can not even believe how fast this year is flying by!!) This week will definitely be my last week as Baby Woita is due any day. Depending on when Baby comes will determine when I come back - but I am thinking it will be towards the end of April but of course will let you know! My long term substitute - Caitlin Bailey will be coming in a few times this week to get to know my friends and our routines! She is super excited to be in my kindergarten classroom and I know the kids will love her! 

This week we will be having some fun - we will be reading a LOT of Dr. Suess books and celebrating him this week with our annual Meadow Lane book parade on Wednesday, March 2nd at 9:20! I am SO excited to see what all of my friends favorite book character and books are! Remember to bring your book with you if you have it!! We will be reading in our classrooms right after the parade. The kids will need to have extra clothes if they wear an elaborate costume (because we want them to be ready to learn). We will also be spending some of this week celebrating Dr. Seuss so you may see some things coming home about this author!! I hope that you heard last week we had a special guest visitor come and read us a story - it was the Cat in the Hat and my friends could not believe it!!! I will attach a few pictures down below of this special activity. 

 

Since I wanted to make sure I had all of my assessments done before I left we got through a lot of things very quickly so this week we will be reviewing a lot!  In literacy we will be reviewing what good readers do and catching up on some fun word work activities! In math we will be graphing, adding, and telling story problems!

In unit studies we will be finishing up our body basics book!

 

I am hoping to finish up our t-shirts as well - we had fun tie-dyeing them on Friday and hopefully if I get everything finished up and ready to go we will also get a chance to paint them. We will be putting our individual names and our Meadow Lane Mission Statement on them!

 

Don’t forget to bring back your shamrocks so we can see why your kindergarten kid is so lucky!!! If you have questions about them please let me know!! Also, don’t forget we will be having spring break from March 7^th- March 11^th!!! It will be another fast and fun week in kindergarten! I am sure hoping to be here for all of it!
