Week of March 4-10

Happy March everyone! What beautiful weather we had this weekend! I hope you all enjoyed spending some time outdoors....I know we did.

****This week we are doing the letter Q. Please have students bring in their favorite QUILT for the week.****

We DO NOT have school on Friday for Teacher Inservice Day.
Please return your field trip permission slips this week. We will be leaving the school at 8:45 on Monday/Tuesday. I have enough drivers for both days. (Thank you all so much for volunteering to drive!)

We are doing some new behavior management things in our class. The first thing is when I say "Class" the students respond with "yes" in the same tone that I use. It is a fun way to get the whole class' attention. The second thing that I am doing is when I say "Teach" the students say "okay" and then turn to their partner and tell them what I've prompted them to say. This really reinforces learning. The last thing that I am doing is a visual aid to help them remember to be good listeners and make good choices throughout the day. Below is a picture of the chart that is in the classroom. If they are on the green, blue, or purple section at the end of the day they will be rewarded with a stamp, sticker, or small candy piece. Please let me know if you have any questions concerning these things.


For this week:
Letter of the week: Q,q.
Shape of the week: circle
Number of the week: 8, 16
Sight word of the week: of
Theme of the week: Dinosaurs

We have a new snack time prayer for March:

We Thank You Lord (tune of Yankee Doodle)We thank you, Lord, for happy hearts
For rain (snow) and sunny weather.
We thank you, Lord, for this our food
That we enjoy together.

Amen
