1/2 Class News March 29 – April 2

Dear parents,
I had so much fun this week with your children! Although we missed Joy very much, we were lucky to have had many helping hands. A special thanks to Stacia, Jami, Chad, Brian and George for everything! I couldn’t have done it without you.
On Tuesday almost all of the children finished their pot holders. We only have one left. Maybe they will be ready to use by Spring Break!
Our trip to Sensations was fabulous. The kids had a great time. I bet they slept well Wednesday night from all of the exercise they got!
We have begun to dig for facts about lice. Our intern Jami created a very entertaining Lice Bingo game. The children also enjoyed reading and writing about all we learned. I think we may now be experts! Thanks for all your time spent checking, cleaning the house, and treating your kids for lice. Please be aware that I am checking heads, vacuuming, and treating the room daily. I am confident that we will beat this!
I have spoken to the children about all of the fantastic activities we have planned for Literacy Week.
Here is a quick rundown:

Monday – Breakfast for Lunch (each child will bring in a breakfast item to share)
- Pajama Day
- Bring a stuffed animal

Tuesday – Wren’s Nest trip ($6)
- Picnic (no heat-ups, please)

Wednesday – Book Store trip ($10)
- Picnic (no heat-ups, please)

Thursday – Book Exchange: children should bring two books to school that they are willing to part with. Please be sure your child does not bring in any book to which they are very attached.
- Reading Feast: children will bring in a dish to share that relates to a book (example: Chris will bring in meatballs to celebrate the book Cloud With a Chance of Meatballs).
Friday – Dress up as a favorite book character
- Pizza party! (children only need a fruit snack)
(There will not be a newsletter Friday).

Have a wonderful weekend!
