Week of March 17-21, 2014

Hello Room 4 families! The kids have been working away in Room 4. They are learning so much so quickly.
Thanks to everyone for helping kids with homework nightly, and a huge thanks to those who volunteer in the classroom.

Volunteer Needed! 
We are in need of someone to help with our centers time on Thursdays starting in April until the first week in June. Centers run from 8:10 until 9:00 am. If this is something you would like to do, please let me know. You don't need to be fingerprinted, just fill out the volunteer level 1 form.

Important dates:

Monday 3/17: Spirit day--wear green (free dress)

Friday, 3/28: free dress day

Monday, 3/31: Art lesson, 10:00-10:45. We would love to have a couple parent helpers for this. Please let me know if you can help.

Friday, 4/11: Art lesson 10:15-11:00. Please let me know if you'd like to come in to help with this!

Language Arts
The kids are loving our Red, White, and Blue unit. Ask them about some of the American symbols they have learned about.
Letter/sound focus: /g/, /j/
We will continue to work on using knowledge of letter sounds to make words.
The kids have been writing a book about American symbols and are working to finish a writing piece about what they would do if they caught a leprechaun.

Math
The kids did a super job with addition stories (word problems) this week. Next week we continue to practice adding numbers to 10. My goal for them is to start memorizing some math facts with sums to 10. The more they practice math facts the more they begin to remember them and won't have to use fingers, pictures, etc to find the answers.

Thanks for reading, everyone.
Have a great weekend, and please let me know if you have questions or concerns.
