I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.
Just a reminder that I will not be at school on Thursday or Friday. I am going to a Montana Behavior Initiative (MBI) training in Missoula. Mrs. Montgomery will teach both days.
Our Spring Program is coming up on May 10th. It will be in the evening. We will be singing "The Butterfly Song" as a whole school. The three year old class is singing "1, 2, 3 Little Bumblebees" and "The Ladybug Song." The four year old class is singing "Animal Dance" and "Arky Arky." The words will come home sometime this week so you can be practicing at home.
If you would like to participate in the school supply drive for the Ngobe Bugle people in Panama, please bring the supplies in this week or next week.
Information about the Race for Education will be coming home soon. The students are going to send out pledge forms to raise money for the school. In the end of May they will be running laps for those pledges. There are prizes for the student who raises the most money as well as the class who raises the most money.
Report cards are coming home soon as well. I am finishing them up now.
For this week
Four year old class: We are going to introduce the concept of vowels. Over the weeks to come we will explore the two sounds that each vowel makes. The number of the week is 18. The shape of the week is rectangle. We will start reviewing the sight words that we have learned as well. The theme of the week is Nursery Rhymes.
Three year old class: We are going to start reviewing all the letters we have learned this year. This week we will work on A, B, and C. The number of the week is 9. The shape of the week is rectangle. The theme of the week is Nursery Rhymes.

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.

Welcome to the start of a new week! I can't believe that February is almost over already.
No school on Monday the 20th due to President's Day.
I am planning a field trip in the very near future for BOTH classes. I need parents to help drive to Steffano's. I will let you know of the exact date but it will for sure be on a Monday and Tuesday. Depending on how many car seats can fit in a car, I will need at least 3 drivers for each class.
If your child's birthday falls in the summer months, we would LOVE to celebrate their half birthday. Please let me know if you are wanting to bring in treats on a certain day.
I have a parent helper this week for Wednesday and Thursday so far but really could use some help tomorrow and Friday. I am still a little hoarse from my tonsillectomy.

Please be sure to check their backpack daily and send the folder to school daily.

I have two volunteers to help with the MWF Valentines Day party but still need help with the TTH Valentines Day party. Have your child bring a decorated shoe box to hold their Valentines and other treats. I will send home an updated class list so you can make out your cards.
My tonsillectomy is set for Valentines Day at 10:30 so the TTH party will be first thing that morning. I really wanted to be a part of the party. We will just celebrate before I have to be at the hospital. As a reminder, I will be out of the classroom February 14-17th. I am also in need of parent helpers the following week.
Book orders are due by Friday. Remember....you can place your order online as well.

I am looking for a few volunteers from each class to organize our Valentines Day party. The volunteers will need to plan activities as well as snacks for the party. Please let me know if you can do this.

Week of January 1-7, 2012
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great Christmas break! Thank you all so much for the wonderful Christmas gifts. I am so blessed to have amazing students and parents this school year.
The weather is supposed to be warmer this week so there is no need for snow gear, just coats, gloves, and hats. We will be working on putting on our own coats, etc. in the next few weeks. You can practice at home as well.
We will start having show and tell again this week. It will be on Thursday/Friday.
Please do not send any toys or extra things with your child. Our hallway is narrow and there is not enough room for more than coats, snow gear, and backpacks. Toys tend to find their way out of the backpack, onto the floor, or into the classroom. If they go to before school care, there is enough for them to do in there that they should not need extra things from home. Thank you so much for helping me out with this.
Snack time prayer for January:
We are Thankful (tune of If You're Happy)
For the three year old class:
For the four year old class:
Our letter of the week is U,u. We will discover the sound the letter makes and practice writing the letter. Our color of the week is white. Our number of the week is 11. We will practice counting to 1 and the number 11. Our sight word for the week is "do." Our theme this week is snow and mittens. (Too bad there isn't snow on the ground to help out with this theme!) We have some fun activities and stories related to snow and mittens.
This is how we really feel, really feel.
Good food makes us healthy and strong,
Good friends help us sing our song.
We are thankful for this food, for this food.
Amen

Week of December 11-17, 2011
Christmas is fast approaching and it is a very exciting time for everyone! The three year olds are cows in the Christmas Program. Their costume will be a black shirt and jeans. I will provide a cape with a cow print for them to wear. The four year olds are doves. Their costume will be a white shirt and jeans. I will provide a white cape type thing for them to wear.
Please be practicing the songs at home. The cows are singing "Away In The Manger," the doves are singing "Silent Night," and the whole school is singing "Joy To The World" and "For Unto Us A Child Is Born."
Away in a Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head;
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing; the poor baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
Silent Night
Silent night, holy night.
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Joy to the World
Joy to the world, the Lord is come.
Let earth receive its king;
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room
And heav'n and nature sing.
And heav'n and nature sing.
And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing.
Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns.
Let all their songs employ,
while field and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
For Unto Us a Child is Born
For unto us a child is born
Wonderful, Counselor
The Mighty God
The Everlasting Father
The Prince of Peace
(Repeat entire song)
For the three year old class:
Please send your child in their snow pants and boots. It takes about 25 minutes to get everyone into their snow gear so it will be a great help to have that part done already.
For the four year old class:
We WILL be combining our class with the three year old class for our Christmas Party. It will be on Thursday December 22, 2011. Please drop your child off at regular school time. The Christmas Program will follow our class party at 1030. I am in need of two parent helpers for the party. I have two from the three year old class but need additional helpers since there will be 22 children in our room.
Our letter of the week is P,p. We will explore the letter and all of the things that start with that letter. The number of the week is 4. We will be counting to 4 and learning how to write the number. Our color of the week is purple. The sight word of the week is "me." The theme of the week is Opposites. We will be playing around with words that are opposite of each other. We will be reading books about Christmas this week.
Please be practicing the songs at home. The cows are singing "Away In The Manger," the doves are singing "Silent Night," and the whole school is singing "Joy To The World" and "For Unto Us A Child Is Born."

Week of December 4-10, 2011
I can't believe that Christmas is right around the corner! Both classes are getting ready for the Christmas program that will be on December 22 at 1030. I am thinking about having a combined Christmas party on the 22nd but want to know your thoughts. Since it is a Thursday, the four year old class would need to be there at regular time. If we do a combined party, parents would be able to grab a great seat for the Christmas Program.
Reminder: If there is snow on the ground or the temperatures are below 20*, please make sure your child has snow boots and pants. If they cannot put their pants and boots on by themselves, quickly feel free to send them in their snow boots and pants. This will cut down on the time it takes to get dressed and outside for much needed playtime.
For the rest of December we will NOT be having Show and Tell. With the rehearsals for the Christmas Program there is just not enough time to get everything done.
For the three year old class:
Our letter of the week is R,r. We will be learning all about the letter R and what it's sound is. The number of the week is 4. We will continue our counting groups of four items and writing the number. Our color this week is purple. The theme of the week is "My Five Senses." We will be learning all about the five senses that we have and what their functions are.
