Sound of the Week - W
Book of the Week - Warm as Wool
Mom of the Month – Kate Wilson
Habit of the Month - Attention
Thank you to Kate Wilson for providing our “Green Eggs and Ham”
for our Exciting special E event last week! I was so busy having fun with egg relay races
I didn’t get to take any pictures!
Our book this week Warm as Wool, by Scott Russell
Sanders, is a wonderful story set in 1803, and describes the pioneer life of
Betsy Ward and her three children. After traveling by covered wagon to
the woods of Ohio, she seizes a chance to buy eight sheep. Raising sheep
and children proves to be quite difficult. This great story of a pioneer
mom providing for her family spurs much great conversation with this age group.
Moms, prepared to be blessed by a page that the students will complete
about the wonderful ways that you provide for them.
Looking forward to a full four-day week of great activities with
the sound "W". Kindergartners commonly confuse the sound of
"W" so it will be "w"onderful to go ahead and hit
this one head on.
"W" Week includes WACKY WEDNESDAY (based on the Dr. Seuss
book of the same name) the children will arrive to a classroom turned upside
down, the calendar numbers in the wrong order...just like the book. Since
it is Wacky Wednesday your child may wear mismatched socks, crazy hair,
hats or even their shirts turned backwards. They may add to their regular
dress code clothes, just not wacky costumes instead of them. We
will also be having Waffles with Whipped cream so plan on a
little protein for the early morning, first breakfast before school.
What a blessing it was to meet with you last week in our parent
conferences. It is evident that the hearts of your children are your
priority. I am privileged to be a part of the life of your family for
this school year (and longer).
I have shared with some of you that I will not be at school on
Monday. My husband and I will be going
to Charlotte to be with Kylie, my sister and brother-in-law while Kylie has
scans done early Monday morning. We will have a consultation with the doctor
that afternoon. The results of these
scans will determine treatment plan going forward. I know so many of you are praying faithfully
for her. Please pray that the results of
these scans will be good news! I am so
thankful that Tara Rose, who taught kindergarten last year, will be with the
class. They will be in excellent hands
and I know they will have a great day!
One more note, at PCS, we don't mention Halloween, as many
families respectfully don't participate.
Have a Wonderful, not so Wacky Week (especially Wednesday). I love
your children.
