March 9-20

Dental Health
     Over the next two weeks, we will be focusing on dental health.  Your child will be reading books to learn about dental health as well as see demonstrations how to properly brush and floss their teeth. At home this week, please have a conversation with your child about the importance of brushing their teeth and help them with flossing after daily brushing.  One of our parents shared a fun app to encourage great brushing.  It's called Brush DJ and it's free!  It plays music from your library for 2 minutes while you brush!  It makes brushing for 2 minutes a lot more fun!  Enjoy!

Word Study: digraphs--th, sh, ch, wh

Math News
       Please continue to practice math facts with your child at home.  If your child is having difficulty with the flash cards, use various objects around the house to help your child visualize the math equations which they are attempting to solve. Some ideas for objects you can use are; goldfish crackers, cotton balls, m&m's, beans, Legos, or any small object.

Outdoor Recess
    The weather is still cold and snow is still on the ground. Please make sure that you are sending proper snow attire to school with your child so they can enjoy their outdoor recess!

Right to Read Week is March 16-20.  More information will be coming home soon about how to participate!

Have a wonderful two weeks!
