SPRING BREAK:
Spring break is March 28 - April 1.
Enjoy your time together!

SCIENCE:

Last month we stayed busy learning about shadows, weather, stars, and the Earth, Moon, and Sun.  Now we have moved on to physical science and are focusing on how things are made and what they are made of.  Last Friday we talked about wood, metal, ceramic, porcelain, rubber, plastic, paper, and cloth.  Ask your child what s/he has learned about recently in science. 

REMINDER:
Conferences are Thursday, March 14th.  The book fair will be in the elementary computer lab between 3:30-6:30, so be sure to stop by and check it out!

ONE FISH, TWO FISH, RED FISH, BLUE FISH:

Last Thursday we had lots of help making our Dr. Seuss craft.  Thank you for all of your help Mrs. Lisa (Bailey's mom), Mrs. Mindy (Cooper's mom), Mrs. Weeks (Kerri's grandmother), and Mrs. Kelli!  Our awesome One Fish, Two Fish projects are being proudly displayed in the hallway!

CLASS PICTURE DAY:
Picture day is March 13th.  Please dress your child accordingly.  Order forms (envelopes) were sent home Wednesday. 

THE CAT IN THE HAT:

Tuesday we made Cat in the Hat snacks.  Rylie's mom, Mrs. Lori, came to help.  We layered an Oreo, white icing, and four red gummy lifesavers until we had our own little edible cat hats.  They were cute, easy, and delicious.  Yesterday we journaled about our snacks and The Cat in the Hat story.  :)  Today we are reading One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, then making a personalized craft.  Looks like it is going to be a fun and busy afternoon!  I also want to take a second to thank the parents that helped us with our first Dr. Seuss project-- the green eggs and ham.  Thank you Chris' mom, Mrs. Kristy, Kerri's grandma, Mrs. Weeks, and Jase's mom, Mrs. Becki!  The kids enjoyed watching the ham and eggs cook and being able to participate! THANK YOU!!! 

SCHOLASTIC BOOK ORDER:
The book order is due in class or online this Friday, March 8th.  Remember-- ordering online earns you a free book coupon for a following order and earns a free book for our classroom! :)

PIZZA HUT:

Your child received a Pizza Hut Book-It coupon today for working hard in class and reading his nightly reading book. 

PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES:

Spring conferences are March 14th, after school, from 3:30-6:30.  I sent home sign up sheets today.  Please return the sign up sheet next week, and I will send home a note confirming your time slot within the next few days. 

READ ACROSS AMERICA:

 

Read across America Day, a national reading celebration, takes place each year on or near March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. Across the country, thousands of schools, libraries, and community centers participate by bringing together kids, teens, and books and you can too! Our kindergarten class will be celebrating Read Across America with several events related to Dr. Suess.

Today we cooked green eggs and ham. The boys and girls got to break the eggs, mix them with green food coloring, and help cook them. Afterwards they ate everything we cooked and even asked for more! Thank you to the parent helpers that came and helped cook! It was a wonderful day for the kids!
