From the

Teacher's Desk

    I will be having surgery this Wednesday and will miss about 3 weeks of school. In my absence your child's teacher will be Ms. Massaro, a certified Kindergarten teacher. We've talked about our class procedures and our curriculum; she will be teach the planned reading, math and theme lessons. I'll miss the children but I'm confident they'll be learning with a wonderful teacher while I'm gone. I've added about 8 words to your child's word ring so you'll have them available to practice. The weekly newsletters will come home to keep you informed but there won't be any photos for a few weeks.

    Pfeiffer School is having a Math Parent Involvement Activity on Thursday. Parents may come at 1:45 for some great tips about working on math skills at home. Students who send in the permission slips will stay an extra hour after school (with or without a parent) to play a math game and work on some measurement activities. Every child will get to take home a new math game!

    For Show and Tell this week, bring something beginning with letter V on Thursday. We have two homework projects this week. A worksheet will be sent home on Thursday and is due on Friday. Also, there will be a form on a large toothbrush sent home to keep track of teeth brushing this week; there is a note attached about this dental health project. This will be due next Tuesday, March 4.

     The March Pizza Hut paper is included and March is the final month of the Pizza Hut Book-It program. Next week is the last week I can accept the February Pizza Hut calendars.

     Congratulations to the March Good Citizens, Daryl and Jazlyn!
