First full week of April!


What a busy April we have ahead of us!!!

 As I am sure you all know our school is doing a Coins For Cans drive for the LPS Backpack Walk and your child is asked to bring in loose change for this great cause, but what you might not know is that there are 8 teachers that have agreed to be pied in the face at an all school assembly at the end of April if we as a school raise $1000. And yes I am one of those teachers :) Also the LPS backpack walk is on Saturday, April 16th 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! It starts at 10:00 and is at Lincoln East High School. I can’t wait to hear how much money my class brings in for this great cause!

Also the Art Fair is coming on Thursday, April 14th and hopefully you can all come to Meadow Lane and check out the awesome art work and fun activities that they have planned for that evening!

Friday, April 22nd is the Lorax Movie Night and Earth day! I LOVE Earth Day and the Lorax!!!! I hope you can all come back to school and watch one of my favorite movies with me! More information will be coming home about this event!

Tuesday, April 26th we will be going on our Field Trip to Chet Ager Nature Center and again more information will be coming home about this event! But it is sure to be a super fun day! But wanted to let you know!

Also last Thursday hopefully you heard that Marty and I stopped by to see how all of my friends are doing at Meadow Lane. They were all so nice and excited to see and meet Marty! I was amazed at how much they have learned in the few weeks I have been gone! Ms. Bailey is doing an awesome job and I know that that my friends are in great hands! The plan is for me to return to school on Wednesday, April 20th and again hopefully the transition will be smooth so we can have a great end to our school year!

Here’s a little information about this week at school…

In writing we will keep working on adding voice to our stories!! My friends are loving this writing trait!! We will also be reviewing what good writers do and will also be talking about how we can add our thoughts and feelings into our stories!

In math we will be making a teen number book and focusing on the ten in each teen number. We will be continuing to work on addition and subtraction and using different strategies to solve different equations as well as telling story problems! We will also be making a drawing of partners of ten for a classroom display!

We are continuing to learn more about nutrition, the five food groups, my plate, and doing many activities that will help us live a healthy life!

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!
