Hello Parents,
This Week
We will continue to talk about spring as well as work on learning the letters in our names. If you're following along as we introduce alphabet letters, we are on the letter X this week. Going forward, whenever it is nice outside and time allows, we plan to take the children outside to play at the end of each class.
Spring Concert Sign Up
Please watch your child's folder for a sign up regarding the spring concert and return it to school so that we will know if your child will be attending the 1:00 and/or the 6:00 performances. Our 3K will be singing 2 songs with the 4K and is welcome to go up to sing the all school song at the end.
End of the Year Celebration
Please reply to an email (coming soon) regarding an end of the year celebration for our 3K group. We have a couple of options so I will send an email and I'll let you tell me which one works best for your schedules.
Final Book Order
Please be sure to have any book orders in by May 10 so that we can get all books delivered before the end of the school year.

Going Outside
What nice weather! Tuesday and Thursday look to be especially nice so we will plan on taking the kids outside at the end of each class. Don't worry about what to send in terms of outdoor clothing. To make it easier for parents during this transitional season we will play on the blacktop. Perhaps we'll practice our kickball skills. :) Once everything dries up we'll be back to playing on the playground equipment.
This Week
We are on the letter W this week. We are also talking about spring and we continue to work on learning the letters in our names.
Letter Recognition & Writing in Names
I work with each child individually to help them recognize and write the letters in their names. I individualize the instruction meaning that some children are learning to recognize the first letter of their name, others may know all of their letters, some may be working on writing the first letter of their name and others may be working on more or all of the letters in their names. At the end of the year conferences I'll recap what your child has learned with each of you individually.
Final Book Order
A book order was sent home last week. Please be sure to have any book orders in by May 10 so that we can get all books delivered before the end of the school year.
The $10,000 Raffle
Please consider attending the $10,000 raffle. Mrs. Diny, our art teacher has worked with each class to create art pieces for the event. She graciously worked with our 3K students last week.

Hello Parents~
Here is what we are up to in 3K...
Letter U
We are on the letter U in our introduction of the alphabet. We'll be painting umbrellas this week.
Spatial Concepts
We are also working on understanding vocabulary associated with spatial concepts such as: in between, under, next to, beside, above, below, etc.
Upper Case Letters
Most of our 3K children are at an age where recognizing the upper case letters is enjoyable when done in a fun way. We will be working on this and you may wish to do so at home as well. I believe there are some great apps for ipads, etc. that make tracing letters fun too in case that interests you.
Writing Names
We will especially emphasize the letters in our names on an individual basis. During center times, I will be working with your children to identify the letters in their names as well as writing them (first letter in upper case and the remaining letters in lower case). We will work on writing the letters in fun, motivating ways...writing in rice, sand, on the whiteboard, on our new magna doodle boards, on our backs, tracing letters, etc.
UPCOMING DATES
May 4 - $10,000 Raffle

May 24 - Spring Concert & Fine Arts Show

Hello Parents,
I hope you all enjoyed your Easter break with your loved ones. The Easter season lasts 50 days so the joy of this season has just begun! (Though we could do without the snow!)
Since we DO have snow, we are going to let the children go outside around 10:40 tomorrow to enjoy a little time playing together. Please pick up the children from the playground at 11:00. Please send snow pants, boots, hats & mittens.
Your children have new 4th quarter buddies from the 6th grade class. They met them last week and will see them again tomorrow. One final note, THANK YOU so much for the basket of goodies! What a special treat! We will be using the drawing boards in the classroom in the coming weeks.
Looking Ahead
April 9 - VIRTUS
You have an opportunity to take the Green Bay Diocese VIRTUS training course in Greenleaf. If you plan on continuing your child's education at St. Clare, this class is required for those who wish to volunteer in school or chaperone field trips in the future. You only need to take the class once. Contact the parish office for details (863-2550).
