FYI….

Greeting Flyers Family,

I would like to update you regarding our Kids Heart Challenge that ended on March 1^st.   With your support we have raised $10,850 for the American Heart Association this year. Amazing work!

Even though our donation window is closed for this school year, we still have one more week to sign up online and take the challenge for a stronger and healthier life.  I am encouraging all of our students to “Take the Challenge”, choose water over sugary drinks, exercise for 60 minutes daily or do a kind deed daily.  It is free to sign up, and students will receive a glow in the dark wristband for their dedication to a healthy lifestyle.  If we can get 50% of our student population here at Lindbergh to Take the Challenge, we will be able to receive an additional $500 to purchase new PE equipment for the students to enjoy!  We are only 5 students away!  The deadline to register and/or raise donations for the American Heart Association is Friday, March 8^th.  Let’s all get healthier together!

Jump online, take the Challenge and be a Heart Hero!

Keep practicing their book bags and word cards.  The word and was introduced today nd a new book went home in their book bags.

We made snowman and practiced writing about our Snowman.  It was fun watching them begin to write and sounding out words.

We have been busy testing with Reading and Math skills.  A progress report hopefully will be sent home this week.  The report will show some strengths and some areas to give a little extra practice.

In Leader in Me, we are discussing Habit 3 Putting First things First.  We have been discussing why it is important to take care of the big rocks first then we can have fun with other things after.

In Math we have been practicing counting by 10s, 1s, 2s, 5s, also we have been practicing recognizing and writing our numbers. Also, we have been comparing different objects with size and weight.
