Dear Families,

March 17, 2017

I am sure you will hear all about the shenanigans that went on here in K-3 today. We had a mischievous leprechaun that came into our classroom. The students were on the lookout for him all day, we think we heard him but we never saw him….

We were very lucky to have Kathy Brownell come in and gather all the kindergarten classrooms together. She told us some Irish folktales and sang some beautiful music with different instruments as well. She also read a poem to us that including our class. She is very talented and kind to come in and treat us to such a great time. Thank you Miss Kathy!

We continue to work on word families and rhyming words. The students are also comparing fiction and nonfiction books. We have been writing informational pieces during writer’s workshop. We have described areas of the classroom and areas of the playground. The students have also describe Dr. Seuss books as fiction. Thank you for sharing your Dr. Seuss books from home.

In math, we are practicing with addition and subtraction number stories. The students are getting very proficient and addition and subtraction!

Our letter of the week was “Ii”. Our tongue twister was, “ Isaac and Iris like ice cubes and ice cream.”

We are so excited for our field trip on Wednesday to the VETS Theater in Providence. The students have been asking me so many questions… for example: “Can we dress up?”... Yes they can. And our favorite question: “Will there be popcorn?”... No there won’t, sorry.

Please remember to give your child a large breakfast,as we will probably not eat until noon. You must pack your child a paper bag lunch with a drink and no peanut products. Thank you in advance. Thank you also to the Jamestown Education Foundation who has helped with the cost of this trip so the cost to families is free!

I hope you all have a nice weekend.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Mrs. MacIntyre
