NEWS ON OUR SCHOOL CAMPUS:
WORLD RENEW SERVICE PROJECT:
Thank you for donating to our World Renew School Community Service Project. What each grade level purchased will be shared at Easter Chapel on March 25. :) Our class gave $524.42 and bought 3 Friendship Packs, 3 Goats, 1 Goats and Quackers, and 3 Ducks. Thank you for your generous donations toward this community service project.
EASTER EGGS FOR OUR CLASS:
Both the Kindergarten classes will be having an Easter Egg Hunt on Friday March 27! If you are able, we would love for a donation of 12 eggs from each child to be sent to their Kindergarten teacher, so that we have enough eggs to share with everyone! Please feel free to send Easter Eggs filled with candy, or send plain Easter Eggs, and I will fill them with candy. Thank you so much for your donation!
With Love,
Beth Morse
APRIL 7: Society Meeting will be held on Tuesday evening at HCS
Thank you to our sweet volunteers who are coming into our classroom! If you would like to volunteer, please let me know! I would love to have volunteers during our center times from 10:00-11:30 daily. Please let the office know if you would like to volunteer at any capacity on our campus. They will give you a background check first, and then will let me know when you can come into our classroom to volunteer! Thank you so much for your sweet offers to help our class already!
EVENT PARKING:
If you pick up your student at the end of the school day in the event parking lot (on the north side of the gym) please promptly pick up your child by 3:10pm. If you are arriving after 3:10pm, your child will be in the office waiting for you.
Morning Routines:
Students may be dropped off at school 7:45am and after to have a nice recess time with friends on the playground before coming to school.
Memory Verse
MEMORY VERSE:
“The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified."
Matthew 28:5
A test will be given on Friday, March 27 to see how well your student can remember this verse. This will be placed in the Gradebook. Remembering God's Word helps us in so many areas of life. I will help your student remember the words with actions and guidance, during the test. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Please continue to discuss the school wide memory verses: Revelations 5:12-13 with your child. We will continue to have discussions about this verse in class too.

OUR HOMEWORK:
High Frequency Words (Sight Words) /Math Facts
Letters Kk and Qq :
We will be learning how to form the letters Kk and Qq in class, and will continue to learn all about these letters this week. I would love to partner with you to help you work at home with your child on this letter writing.
MATH FACTS: 0+1, 0+2, 0+3, 0+4, 0+5, 1+1, 1+2, 1+3, 1+4, 2+1, 2+2, 2+3, 3+1, 3+2, 4+1, 3+0, 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 4-0, 5-0, 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 5-1, 2-1, 2-2, 3-2, 4-2, 5-2, 5-3, 4-3, 3-3, 3-2, 3-1, 5-4, 4-4, 4-3, 4-2, 4-1 (A test will be given with these Math Facts that is timed for 2 minutes.)
In addition to the 2 minute math test, we will be learning these new Math Facts and testing on them on Friday, March 27. Here are the new Math Facts: 10-0, 10-1, 10-2, 10-3.
Please help your student learn these facts by memory by showing them items from home that they can add together.
NUMBERS 0-10: Please continue to practice these numbers. These numbers all start at the Strawberry Line and I would love to partner with you to help your child write these numbers from the top of the line. Please let me know if you have any questions about this. Our songs:
1: Come right down and that is all to make the number 1.
2: Curve around and slide to the right to make the number 2.
3: Curve in and around again to make the number 3.
4: Down, over, down some more to make the number 4.
5: Down, around, put on a hat, to make the number 5.
6. Curve around and curl it up to make the number 6.
7. Slide to the right and slant it down to make the number 7.
8. Make an S and close the gate to make the number 8.
9. Make a circle and then a line to make the number 9.
10. Make a one and then a zero to make the number 10!
HIGH FREQUENCY WORDS: jump, just, six, green
Our test on these words will be on Friday, March 27. The students will be asked to orally read out loud these words for a grade in the Gradebook. Please email me if you have any questions about this and I would love to partner with you! One fun idea is to have your child find these words in the church bulletin, and circle them and read them aloud. Another idea is to have your child go on a Hide and Seek hunt for these words in the living room. They can be on flashcards, and your child can find them and say the word aloud as they find them in your house. These are words we have already learned and this will be a test to see if your student knows them long term, and can recognize them in sentences.
Penmanship: A penmanship rubric for our daily handwriting in Kindergarten through 2nd grades was sent out. This rubric will be used from now on, and your child will receive their penmanship grade in their folder on Mondays for the previous week. This will create a standardized penmanship grade that the students can understand clearly and achieve well. Please let me know if you have any questions about this penmanship grade.
Optional Show And Tell and Daily Mail/Reading
*SHOW AND TELL: On Friday, March 27, bring in an item that begins with Kk or Qq .
OPTIONAL IDEAS TO CREATE A HOME AND SCHOOL CONNECTION:
Daily Mail: Please write a sentence (with the guidance at home that I talked about during conferences) to me, illustrate it, and then share in front of the class. (We have a nice mailbox in our classroom where the students love to place their mail. They can tell you all about it!)
Daily Reading: Please bring one of the books back that I sent, after reading it with your parents, and then your child will read it in front of our class.
