Dear Parents,
I hope that all of you had a nice weekend. We are finally getting some better weather, but with that come the allergies. If your child suffers from them or asthma, please let me know. I will try to watch how much they run or exert themselves on the playground if that is a problem.
This week we will be reading the story Shoes Like Miss Alice’s by Angela Johnson. Along with this story we will be working with the letter W. Also, please keep working with the word lists. We are having more difficulty as we add words to the sight word list. Practice really does help. I certainly appreciate your help and notice the work that you do. In math, we will work with numbers one through twenty. We will also start measuring length. During our circle time, we will continue our unit on plants. We had a lot of fun planting the flowers in the church planter. Please check them out. The children did a great job and thank you Mrs. Gilligan for arranging it. Our Bible lessons will be “Ruth Believes in God” and “God Blesses Ruth.” From these lessons we will learn how God graciously blesses faith that forsakes all for him.
As you all know, we had spirit week last week. It was a fun and wonderful week. The children did a fine job of participating and you parents were very creative in coming up with the outfits. I enjoyed the week and your work very much.
Many of you have received the head lice notices. Please keep vigilant about checking your child. I have cleaned the room thoroughly and for now that is about all I can do. This too will pass. I will continue to watch so that no coats or hats come into contact with one another.
If you want to enter a car in the pine car derby, please bring your application to school. The Pioneer leaders like to get working on them as soon as possible. Thanks.
I mentioned in one of the last notes that I need empty egg cartons. If you have one to spare, please bring it to school. I like to do various projects with egg cartons so I will recycle them. Thank you.
On Saturday, March 1, we had an open house. If any of you know of people who are interested in finding a school for the kindergarten child, please mention Apostles. We have opening in almost all grades and we would love to have the opportunity to serve the families in our area.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week.
