Hello Parents and happy March!!! Mrs. Maldonado and I are looking forward to Spring approaching and all of the fun things that we have planned for the rest of the school year. This week is Read Across America week! We will be highlighting the different Dr. Seuss books with corresponding crafts/snacks.
Important Reminders:
- Read Across America week! – Theme days went home on a flyer as well as posted on our Classdojo! Keep an eye out for pictures & videos!
- Trinity Book Fair – March 5th (information went home & posted on our Classdojo)
We are finishing up Theme 5 with our last unit 4 “Art All Around Us”. BIG Idea: I enjoy art that other people create. Knowledge Focus: Children learn how imagination and creativity shape our world. Social-Emotional Focus: Initiative. The theme vocabulary words include: appreciate, art, artist, artwork, dance, design, music and sculpture. Math vocabulary words include: area, bigger and smaller.
We will be learning the letter Tt, number 18, continue to review shapes and colors, and complete our weekly journal on Friday’s. We will be reading the books “1 Fish, 2 Fish”, “Fox in Socks”, “Wacky Wednesday”, “Green Eggs and Ham”, and “The Cat in the Hat”. We will be creating various crafts for each theme! To celebrate the end of Read Across America, on Friday we will be watching a Dr. Seuss movie and enjoy some popcorn!
For Jesus Time, Mrs. Maldonado will discuss how Jesus stops a storm. We will also discuss Ash Wednesday and the meaning behind Lent. We will begin taking a closer look at Lent in our Jesus Time packet. We will begin to start The Lord’s Prayer for the month of March through June.
