Hi Parents! We had the best time celebrating Read Across America with all of our Dr. Seuss themed days! Thank you so much to all volunteers who sent in special goodies to help us celebrate. We have a fun week ahead as we prepare for St. Patrick’s Day!
Important Dates and Reminders:
- St. Patrick’s Day Celebration – March 17th – Please dress your child in green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! We will celebrate with special treats! More details will be posted on our Classdojo.
- Professional Development Day – March 21st – NO SCHOOL!

We are starting Theme 6 “Growing Up Healthy” and unit 1 “My Senses”. BIG Idea: The five senses help me explore my world. Knowledge Focus: Children learn about their bodies and how to take care of themselves. Social-Emotional Focus: Self-Awareness. The theme vocabulary words include: hear, see, sight, smell, sound, taste, touch and senses. Math vocabulary words include: oval, rectangle and rhombus.
We will be learning the letter Uu, number 19, continue to review shapes and colors, and complete our weekly journal on Friday’s. We will be reading the books “First Aid”, “How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon?”, “I Am Sick” and “Eating The Alphabet”. We will begin to create our St. Patrick’s Day crafts for the upcoming holiday the following Monday. We will also be discussing the 5 senses this week. We will do a 5 senses scavenger hunt in the classroom (or outside if weather permits!)
For Jesus time, Mrs. Maldonado will discuss the story of how Jesus fed 5,000 people. We will continue to work on our Lent packet and continue to recite The Lord’s Prayer.
