Announcements: No School next week for spring break. I will hand out calendars on Wednesday or Thursday for April.
Home Challenge: This week we are learning about Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales. The language and rhythm in Nursery Rhymes especially help children develop language skills which will in turn help with learning the patterns of reading. I encourage you to teach your child some new nursery rhymes and say them often. You can also add clapping or tapping your feet to them to emphasis the rhythm in the verses.
