Today we had our Super Smart lesson for unit 4 of The Superkids' Club. It's going by so quickly! Our Super Smart today was about the 5 Senses. Ask your child to show you their mini book tonight and tell you what they learned about today! Tomorrow we will start unit 5--P! I wonder who the next Supernoodle will be?!
Math
Here are the things we have been working on in math last week and this week:
- using manipulatives to represent numbers
- modeling comparison stories with counters
- counting by 2s
- dividing groups in half
- using attributes to describe objects
- using tools to measure time
- using calculators to practice skip counting
- using symbols to represent a pattern
- dividing objects in half
Sight Words
There are no new sight words this week or next. Instead, we will be using the next two weeks to review all the 3rd quarter sight words before report cards. The grading period ends March 9th!
Speaking of that, report cards for the 3rd 9 weeks will come home March 14th.
Carnival t-shirts
There is a paper in your child's folder today if you are interested in ordering a Creekside Spring Carnival t-shirt. These order forms are due March 14th. The carnival theme this year is "Barnyard Bash". The spring carnival this year will be Friday April 15th. More info will come home soon!
March snack calendar
The snack calendar for March is in folders today! Be sure to check it out to see if your child has a turn this month! Just a reminder, everyone will have 1 or 2 turns this school year. I try to make at least one of their turns near their birthday. And, don't feel like you have to send something in every day, or on Monday--snacks can come in at any time during the week!
Guest Day Forms
Kindergarten guest day will be Wednesday, March 23rd, from 1:15pm-2:15pm. Our hope is that each Kindergartener will have a grandparent or other special visitor come to school to complete the special scavenger hunt with them.
Museum Reminders
Our field trip to the Children's Museum is NEXT Monday, March 7th! Some reminders:
- Your child needs to bring their lunch to school Monday--all in a disposable container.
- I will send dinosaur shirts home that we painted in class on Friday--PLEASE have your child wear theirs to school on Monday.
- Students need to wear comfortable walking shoes.
- Chaperones--don't forget your lunch as well! Please do not take students into the gift shop or cafeteria at the museum.
- Chaperones--please be at school at 8:15am so we can leave. If you plan on just meeting us at the museum-please let me know that before Monday!
Calendar
Lots of spring dates have been added to our classroom calendar! Be sure to check out the link at the top of the blog for new dates.
Happy Leap Day!
We celebrated Leap Day today! We had special morning work, made special crowns to celebrate, and had a special math activity. The boys and girls thought it was so neat that leap year only happens every 4 years, and they will be 9 years old the next time this happens!
Bucketfilling Party!
And in another celebration for today, we filled our bucketfilling jar with 20 fuzzies again after getting a 5 in library! Woo Hoo! We celebrated with a special snack and extra recess during activity time. Way to go bucketfillers!
Have a great week!
