Kindergarten News
Specials:
We begin our study of the rainforest on March 6. The children will learn about the layers of the rainforest and some of the animals that live in each layer. We will turn our room into a rainforest with “trees” hanging from the ceiling, snakes, bromeliads, and vines. The children are invited to bring rainforest animals to hang from the ceiling like stuffed monkeys, birds, insects, snakes, or any rainforest animal we could borrow to add to our room! Please do not send in animals that your child uses at night to sleep with, as these animals will need to “sleep over” at school for a few weeks!

RAZ-Kids has begun! Read and listen to at least one book a week online with your child and do the quiz associated with that book by Wednesday of each week. The teachers can see your child’s account and will know which book has been read and will be able to see the quiz results. The class has received a letter with login information and to see your child’s password symbol. Your child can build a robot with the points s/he has earned using the icon at the bottom of the page!

To Remember
Spring portraits will be taken on Wednesday, March 8th. All students will be photographed: it is a family’s choice whether or not to purchase these photographs of their student.
Families are not required to send payment at the time the photos are taken. You will see the portraits before you buy them, and only pay for what you choose to keep.
Thinking ahead, parent-teacher conferences are coming up on April 10th.  We generally keep the schedule from the last time we had conferences and we will send it via soon.  We are happy to rearrange your time or meet on another day if necessary.
Language Arts
This week we will complete our unit on “The Wind” and start “Stick-To-It” stories. We will be discussing perseverance and how the children persevere as they learn new skills.
