March News from Mrs. Strayer
We’re in the jungle!
Throughout the month of March our theme is the African jungle. On Thursday, April 1st, we would like to invite you to our jungle village. We will send you an official invitation, but it will probably be around 2:30 p.m., if you would like to put it on your calendar. At this time we will share our jungle logs where we are recording everything we are learning and doing while we are here. You will also see our jungle puzzles. Each day during “jungle center”time, the students have a chance to earn puzzle pieces by completing skill activities. These skills involve language and math development.
The bears (Beatrice and Bernard) have started visiting homes. They will be with us until the end of April or first of May. We look forward to sharing journal entries each day. Thank you for your cooperation with this project. Jesse Bears were due back on February 26th. The ones we have shared have been awesome. “Beary” good readers will continue as long as we have Beatrice and Bernard. Enjoy reading with your child.
Thank you for your attendance at parent teacher conferences. Your support throughout the school year has been tremendous. You have made a difference in your child’s academic skills by completing School-Home Links, and backpack homework. Thanks for your continuing effort and work with your child on these. They will continue to come home throughout the remainder of the school year.
Best wishes for a wonderful spring break with your child!
