KA Weekly Update 3/3

Hello KA Parents,

Happy March!

Next week in reading, we will be focusing on the letters Bb and Ll, and learning the sight words “and” and “what”.  In math, we will be working on counting larger numbers and graphing.  Students will also take an addition/subtraction assessment.  In science and social studies, we will be studying weather.  In religion, we continue to learn about Lent.  We are learning how we all can use our hands, head, and heart to do the work of Jesus.

Your child brought home a Rice Bowl this week from Catholic Relief Services.  These are for the children to collect pennies or coins during Lent, to help feed the hungry worldwide.  If you choose to participate, children can bring these back to school any time before Good Friday, or your family can bring it to Easter mass and include it in the church collection basket.

KA Request:  We have been doing so many art projects this year, our watercolors are running low.  If you see Crayola Watercolors on sale, would  you please consider picking up an extra set or two for our classroom? Thank you!  (Bonus: every $15 spent counts as one volunteer hour!)

Mrs. White is so excited for another great year in KA! She has been at SMM since 2014, and has been teaching in Catholic schools since 2002. Over the years, Mrs. White has taught many grade levels and subjects, but kindergarten is her absolute favorite! She loves being part of the early learning process and seeing the amazing connections that kindergarteners make every day. Mrs. White graduated with a BA in education and history from CWU (go Wildcats!) and earned a M.Ed. from Seattle U (go Redhawks!) She lives in Everett with her husband and two sons. Some of Mrs. White's favorites, in no particular order: Dogs, Chocolate, Hiking, Books, and Snow!
