Hello Parents and Happy Spring!!!! I could not be more excited to finally be done with the season of Winter and officially move into Spring. I am ready for consistently warm weather! I hope you all had a wonderful and safe St. Patrick’s Day.
Important Dates and Reminders:
- Friday, 3/24 – Professional Development Day – There will be no school for children.
- Pre-K Easter Programs (3/30) – ECC 5’s program will be held on Thursday, 3/30 from 10:30am-11:50am. Two adults will be permitted for each child. Please RSVP to me by March 27th.

We are continuing Theme 6 “Growing Up Healthy” and starting unit 3 “Eating Well”. BIG Idea: I eat healthy foods. Knowledge Focus: Children learn about their bodies and how to take care of themselves. Social-Emotional Focus: Self-Awareness. The theme vocabulary words include: fruit, grains, health, nutritious, protein and vegetables. Math vocabulary words include: compare, fewer, fewest, graph, least and most.
We will be learning the letter Vv, start reviewing numbers 1-20, continue to review shapes and colors, and complete our weekly journals on Friday’s. We will be reading the books “The Beastly Feast”, “Good Food” and “How Does Your Salad Grow?”. Since we are learning about healthy foods this week, I will be posting a sign-up on our Classdojo, asking for volunteers to bring in either a fruit or vegetable for the children to taste! We will then graph which fruit/vegetable was our favorite. We will also begin to work on our Easter crafts.
For Jesus time, Mrs. Gonzalez will continue to discuss the story of Jesus and how he heals a deaf man. We will continue to work on our Lent packet and continue to recite The Lord’s Prayer before snack and lunchtime.
