What We Are Learning:

We are now beginning Unit 8 in Language Arts. Below are the sight words, oral vocabulary words, letters, and sounds we will be mastering during the next 3 weeks.  In addition, we continue to read decodable books and passages. You can encourage us to read the passages we bring home each week. We are also learning to write sentences about the texts we read.

As a class in math, we will be solving addition and subtraction word problems to 10. Individually, the students are working to master their current selected math standard and pass their math fluency level. Our whole class is working to pass off their adding and subtracting facts. Many of our students are working on 1’s and 2’s. And we have several on 3’s and even beyond. Way to go!

In science and STEM, we will be exploring plants and the things they need to survive. We will grow and care for our own plant. Watch for our plants to come home the Thursday before spring break.

Spring pictures will be taken on Friday, March 28. Thus, uniforms are not required on this day. Please note that students should still follow dress down day guidelines by wearing appropriate attire. 

If you want your child to have their picture taken please fill out this form: Picture Day Permission Form (If you do not complete the form, your child will not have their picture taken)

Daylight Savings Time

It has been our experience that daylight savings time can be a challenging transition for our young students. The time change can really affect a child’s attention span, appetite, and overall mood.

There are several things you can do now to help:

• Gradually set bedtime a little earlier each night (15 min a night works well)
• Gradually wake them up a little earlier each morning (15 min a morning also)
• Dim lights and turn off electronics 30-60 minutes before bedtime
• In the morning, give them light (turn on lights, open blinds, enjoy breakfast outside, go for a sunrise walk)
• Stick with a bedtime routine (warm bath, read a book together, lights out)
• Be patient (Understand that time change can change their overall mood; they can be grumpy, easily frustrated, and challenging)
• Take care of yourself, get plenty of sleep. If you are tired, you will be sluggish, irritable, and cranky too.
