Stingers, Keep on Stinging
The school year is flying by fast, which means the annual Spring Carnival is near and it is time to
start planning! As we enjoy February’s Valentine’s Day festivities, let us be mindful of the
upcoming carnival on March 19th, 2021.

2021 SPRING CARNIVAL Bear, The Very Hungry Caterpillar,

Our class is running the fishing game booth.
We will need four groups of six adults per
hour between 4 and 8 PM. A day prior to
the carnival our class needs volunteers to
help set up our booth between 3 and 7 PM.
If possible, please also send a big bag of
candy with your child before March 1st,
2021, so that we may have a selection of
prizes at our booth.
BUZZYING AWAY
We have been working really hard on
learning our sight words. Most of the class
has already learned one hundred sight
words! This class is full of very good
readers! Aside from reading, the Stingers
have been busy adding and subtracting and
mastering counting to one hundred. Students
have also mastered recognizing their shapes.
Currently, our class’s favorite books are Is
your Momma a Llama, Brown Bear Brown
Goodnight Moon, The Snowy Day, and
Rainbow Fish.
As you can tell, the Stingers are busy bees,
especially since Mr. Myrtle, our pet gerbil,
has kept us on our toes and cleaning up after
him!
HERITAGE MONTH
March is Irish-American Heritage Month, so
our class will be celebrating by learning
about the Irish Heritage. We will decorate
with clovers, rainbows with pots of gold,
and lots of green! During snack time,
students will try corn beef made by cafeteria
staff and decorating clover-shaped sugar
cookies. As we read St. Patrick’s day books,
our Leprechaun will be busy playing tricks
on us throughout the month.
The books on this month’s list include: A
Possum’s Pot of Gold, There was an Old
Lady Who, The Story of Saint Patrick’s Day,
and That’s What Leprechauns Do.

Letters, names, and sounds are the necessary pre reading skills required for students to start
fluently reading. Please keep working on these skills every night for at least ten minutes per
night. Also, keep reading the little readers that I send home every day with your
student.
Happy Reading!
