Thursday, March 28th school will dismiss at 12:00. Please pack your child a sack lunch on this day as there is no school lunch program, but we will still eat lunch before the end of the day.
There is no school March 29th-April 5th for Easter Break. (Happy Easter!) We will return to school on Monday, April 8th.
Spring Conferences are coming up on April 22nd and 23rd. Although Spring conferences are optional, they are a great time to discuss your child's individual growth throughout the year. Please check your e-mail for more information about Spring conferences. Thank you!
We had yet another great day in school!
Check out what we did today!
We started the day walking to chapel. We learned all about Easter and how Jesus not only died, but he rose again to save us! He loves us so much! We practiced telling others about His love!
We played Tricky Mouse this morning. The students LOVE this game! As we play the game, the children are working on recognizing letters and the sounds that go with the letters. Learning the letters and their corresponding sounds is a pre-reading skill!
We matched upper and lower case letter eggs today. This activity helps the children to recognize the correlation between upper and lower case.
We practiced number recognition, counting, and one to one correspondence as we recognized the number written on the Easter egg, and counted the same amount of jewels to place in the egg. Counting, number recognition, and one to one correspondence are all valuable foundational math skills!
We continued to work on our city. The children have great ideas of how to decorate and run the city! As they play in the city, the children are learning valuable social skills! They are also practicing number recognition as they read how many students can go in each building. As you can imagine, there are times when more children are in a building than our rules allow. Helping the children to resolve these issues by posing questions that allow them to find their own resolution will foster problem solving skills as well as valuable conflict resolution skills. They practiced problem solving skills as they worked to resolve conflicts in the city in a positive way.
We also worked in the writing center today. Even if the children are not writing, they are strengthening their fine motor skills through coloring, removing stickers, cutting, and gluing. Strong fine motor skills are necessary for the children to be successful writers.
We worked cooperatively in the block center creating various structures too!
I also worked individually with the children on assessments. Assessments are a valuable tool that allow us to see areas of strength and areas for growth!
