Week at a Glance

Dear Families,

I hope you all had a great weekend, regardless of the rain! As we continue our theme of “My School and Me”, this week students will learn that we have five senses. We can see, touch, hear, taste, and smell. The stories we will be reading are titled Sensational Senses, Hooray For Hoppy, and My Backyard and My Senses. We will be going on a “My 5 Senses Nature Walk” around campus, please make sure your child is coming to school wearing school appropriate sneakers! 

Our specials teacher, Mrs. Bedrin, would like to begin sending communication about what students will be completing during their specials time:

Specials Spotlight: GERMS!  They're everywhere!  We will be reading Sick Simon by Dan Krall and learning about how germs spread in our classrooms.  We will meet Suzy Sneeze on Monday and learn how to catch our sneezes and coughs and wash up after.  We will learn Patty Shukla's song Germs while dancing with scarves on Tuesday.  We will use finger paints to show the spread of germs on Wednesday and create our own germ monsters.  We will wrap up the week by playing germ tag in the Pit on Thursday.  Students and teachers will compete to see if the students can wash away the germs faster than teachers can make the germs spread.    

The shelter in place snack bags are due Monday and Tuesday this week! These bags are used in case of emergency. They do not replace morning or CARES snacks. Please make sure to label snacks AM or PM.
