Dr. Seuss Day

We had another busy and fun-filled week in kindergarten!  The kindergartners enjoyed our milder weather and the opportunity to skip wearing some winter weather gear during recesses.  Additionally, the kindergartners enjoyed reading several Dr. Seuss books, showing off silly socks, sampling green eggs and ham, and completing many other corresponding activities.  It is such a blessing to see the kindergartners’ continued excitement for reading and reading-related activities!

BAG Books:

Thank-you for your help in making BAG books a success!  As your child continues to practice and read new books, please note that the difficulty level often varies even between the ‘letter level’ of each book.  Your child may read some books with ease, but may have more difficulty with other books.  The books we use are intentionally designed to vary in difficulty level so that they can both build your child’s reading confidence, as well as offer challenges along the way.  Thanks again for your help with this program!  Please be sure that your child returns his or her books every Monday.

Bible Memory:
Our March Bible Memory is Matthew 28: 5-6.  Thank-you for your continued practice at home!
