Thanks to all of the Dads who were able to stop in and enjoy a donut with their child this week!   Spring Pictures are Thursday April 5th.  You are welcome to bring your M/W student up to the Y gym in the morning to have their picture taken.  Just check in at the office. Field Trip Permission slips-  Please fill out and return your child’s permission slip and $5.50 to school this week.  If you need another copy, please let me know. EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE!:  Tuesday is election day. We are hoping that the bond issue for the Early Childhood Center will pass.  Every vote counts! Don’t forget to stop by your polling location and cast your vote! NO TAX INCREASE! THANK YOU!  We’d like to extend a big THANK YOU to Murfin’s Market and Village Pottery for donating the ceramic eggs for the children to paint.  We did have a few “hatch” (break) before we could get them home. If your child didn’t bring one home, hold tight….it’s on it’s way.
March Learning Targets: I can cut a stationary object with scissors I have started copying familiar symbols I point to or move objects when counting out loud	Literacy: We read a variety of books about Spring and Easter.  We enjoyed hunting for eggs. Inside of the eggs were letters.  We matched the letters inside the eggs with the letters in the phrase, “Happy Easter”.  We also made a Yes/No T chart and sorted letters. READING RAINBOW Don’t forget to help us make our love for reading and our Reading Rainbow grow.  Everytime you read a book, let your child sign their name on the strips of colored paper we have been sending home.  You can send those in each daily or weekly.
Math: Sorted Easter eggs by color and size Counted Easter eggs using 1:1 by placing them into an egg carton while counting.	Preschool Enrollment Packets-  Paperwork for next year was sent home with your child this week.  Please fill it out and return it to school as soon as possible. Please note:  This field trip is for children who are enrolled in preschool only.  Younger siblings are not allowed to attend this time. Thank you for your understanding.
Our snack supply is running a little low.  If you can help us restock our supply, we would really appreciate that. Suggestions:  Goldfish crackers, animal crackers, peanut butter crackers, mini muffins, graham crackers, cheese slices, saltines, bananas, strawberries, apples, blueberries (frozen fruit is fine), applesauce, or pretzels.   Thanks so much!
