A great start to a week

Dear Parents,
 
Last week we had a wonderful week talking about Dr. Seuss.  On Wednesday, students practiced cutting out squares and set a place mat for green eggs and ham.  On Thursday, students practiced patterns by creating a Cat in the Hat with the red and white stripes.  On Friday, students created Thing 1 and Thing 2 using hand prints and different shapes.  Overall the kids liked the silly books with the silly words.
 
We have started our talk about community helpers this week.  Yesterday the kids started out by measuring different community helper vehicles with various plastic objects.  We also started working on the nursery rhyme I'm a Little Tea Pot.  Next week we will still be talking about community helpers, but also discussing St. Patrick's Day and the tricky leprechaun.
 
Right now our picture day is scheduled for this Friday, but it may be rescheduled for this Thursday.  Try to dress your child in whatever you might want their picture in both days.
