Dear FMS Families,

We can’t believe it’s March! We are so proud of our Pre-Ks, many have took off on their reading and are on reading boxes! They have been working so hard, and are so happy with what they have accomplished. That being said, we recommend that they practice their handwriting at home. There are many hand writing books appropriate for their age, and are available at Barnes N’ Noble and Lakeshore. In this generation of touch screens and other smart devices, children just don’t write as much as they used to.  So there is no such thing as too much practice!

Dr. Seuss day was a blast. We had Cindy Lou Whos, Thing 1 and Thing 2s, and Cat in the Hats running about. We enjoyed eating green eggs and ham for snack, read Dr. Seuss books, and did loads of Dr. Seuss crafts and activities.

This month we will be learning about Asia, amphibians and reptiles, and dinosaurs! Please keep our themes in mind if you have volunteered for reading, art, or cooking this month.

Please don’t forget to sign up for conferences on 3/23 and 3/24. Sign- up sheets will be available on Monday, 3/6. Please note we will not be scheduling times prior to 3/6.
