·        WEEKLY HOMEWORK—Please have your child complete 1-2 pages each night, and complete the writing assignment. 

·        Writing—For this last week in March, we will finish talking and writing about how things taste.  This will be our last week for taste words, and show-off writing will happen on Thursday or Friday.  Please have your child write at least two sentences about something you eat at home, school or out on the town, and write about what it tastes like.  Our goal now is to have the kids choose one topic and elaborate on it, and really describing the experience.  “Today my mom took me out for frozen yogurt.  I picked vanilla frozen yogurt with blueberries on top.  The frozen yogurt tasted cold and soft in my mouth.  The blueberries squirted juice when I ate them.”  (in Kindergarten writing of course)  We are encouraging LOTS of writing that all goes together!  


·        REMINDER Please be sure that your child returns their plastic Ziploc book bag in their folder everyday.  Thank you!!

Thank you again for all that you do at home to support your child’s learning.  We appreciate all that you do!  Please feel free to email with any concerns or questions!  Thank you!!
