A note went home today about the Easter Party we will be having on Thursday, March 29th at 12:00. Your child has been assigned an item to bring by Wednesday, March 28th. They will also need to bring 12 plastic filled eggs by Tuesday, March 27th. Tape and number the eggs 1-12, then put your child’s first and last name on the 12th egg only. Please, NO peanut products as there are children with peanut allergies. We will also need 2-3 parent volunteers to hide eggs and 2-3 parents to help set up snacks in the classroom. Please indicate on your child’s note if you would like to help. Don’t hesitate to call or send a note if you have any questions.

Spelling/Phonics– We will have a spelling test the next 4 weeks and then we will be done with our spelling for the year. After we have finished up our last spelling test we will then focus on any phonics lessons we have not covered or we will review any phonics lessons we had throughout the year.

Reading– Today we started our PBL (Project Based Learning) on the 3 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and conservation.

We are going to be learning a lot about recycling and conservation for the next 5 weeks.
