We hope everyone had a restful Spring Break!  We spent some time in our classrooms getting ready for the last part of the year.  We can't believe how fast it is going by.  Here are some upcoming events, keep an eye out for more information coming home in your child's folder:

• Pre-kindergarten (VPK) packets available April 2-13
• JBE Spring Carnival is this Thursday, April 5 from 5-7pm.  This is open to the community as well as our families. The teachers will host booths with games and educational information. We will also have a booth sharing information on grade levels PK-3 for your child next year including Common Core Standards and Next Generation Sunshine State Standards. You can preorder tickets through the front office for a discounted price, but tickets will also be available at the gate!

• We are going to continue working on non-fiction text but we will be focusing on comparing and contrasting different types of non-fiction as well as dictionary skills.
• We are introducing compound words in phonics, (examples: undid, hotdog, batman) WOW these are tough words, we must be getting close to second grade! ;)
• Place Value is the big word in math this month.  If you see a two-digit number ask your child to tell you which digit is in the tens and ones place.  They should be able to tell you!
