Star Class News
Week of March 10th
This weekend we lost an hour! We hope you all remembered to push back your clocks for Day light savings.
Paddy Day Parade
Monday March 17th, we will be releasing early for the annual Paddy Hough Parade. Our students will get the opportunity to walk with us (and their parents) in the parade. Please join us even if you don't attend school that day. We can wear our class shirts, if you can find them! We will release at 11:30 that day to give us time to meet up in front of Hough Elementary School. Monday parents please let us know what works best for you for snack that day. Teacher Jo will try to get an idea when we are all together on Monday.
Classroom Basket
This year Chloe's mom (Mindi) and Drew's mom (Jennifer) are going to help put together the Class auction basket. We will be doing a "fire pit" theme. The picture they showed me of their idea is WONDERFUL, and we need your help. This year we are looking for a money donation to help purchase items for the fire pit and they will take care of the rest. We are hoping you can donate at least $5 (however any amount would be helpful). If you could give the donation to Teacher Jo by next week it would help give them time to get the items and put it together.
Auction Tickets on Sale Now!
Early Bird Auction Tickets sale ends this Friday! Make sure to pick up your tickets as soon as possible. Tickets are $15.00 per person and $25.00 per couple. We will also have Reserved Tables at the front of the action for auction. Tables have a 4 couple capacity and will go for $150.00 a table. Ticket prices go up March 17th so get your tickets early!! Your ticket includes: dinner, beverages, dessert, entertainment, and access to all live and silent auction items.
Auction Night Day Care
This year Little Acorn is offering childcare during the auction with some of the teachers they have gotten to know. We will provide dinner, crafts, large motor, and group activities for your children while you are playing upstairs and enjoying a child free night. The cost is only $12 for the night, $20 if you have two preschoolers. Space is limited to just 20 children, and is limited to children currently enrolled at Little Acorn. You mush sign up and pay when you purchase your Auction tickets and childcare payment is non-refundable.
No Food in the Playroom
We have children with life threatening allergies and need to keep all food and drinks out of the playroom. Please make sure that when you are hanging out before or after school all food and drinks remain out of the playroom.
This week
This week we are going to be learning about cause and effect with some of our favorite books by Laura Numeroff. We will be creating projects from “IF you give a Mouse a Cookie” “If you give a Pig a Pancake” and “If you take a Mouse to School”. We will be creating our own animals and creating cause and affect stories, as well as creating some fun counting projects.
Word Wall
This week we will be introducing the letter G for Goat and Grill. Please have your child bring in items that start with the letter and put them in the pelican so we can share them at the end of the day.
