This week we are talking about Opposites. We will have a different “theme” each day.
Monday & Tuesday Opposite Wear (Black & white, different socks, backward clothes, etc.)

Thursday & Friday Pajama’s at school
We have a wonderful opportunity to attend a field trip at the Portland International Airport Fire Department on April 16th & 17th. So mark your calendars. We will be joined by the Busy Bee class for this field trip, so it would be great if your child would wear their purple shirt so we can keep our class together. I would like to thank Robert and Wendy Bigelow for setting this all up for our class.
Parent Conferences are on Thursday April 30th and the school will be closed on Friday May 1st because of the Annual Church Rummage Sale. Conferences are optional and I will provide an “assessment” regardless if you sign up for conferences or not.

This Week in the Sunshine Class
This week we will be talking about opposites, Big & little, black & white, night & day.
We will be doing some top and bottom art, a big & little collage, and a pajama party. The children can bring in a pillow or a stuffed animal if they want and we will have a movie in our class on those days. I have a parent that is bringing in a couple of movies that have stories on them that we will choose from.

A note from the teacher
Thank you to everyone who helped with the carnival in any way and thank you to all of you who came and participated in it as well. It was a lot of fun to see everyone having such a good time.:)
The Hough Parade is finally here…..
The Hough Parade is parade that takes place downtown Vancouver on St. Patrick’s Day. Our school is going to walk in it this year, which I am very pleased with the sense of community and we get to wear our purple shirts. Purple and green go together right ? We will release at 11:30 that day so everyone wishing to participate or watch the parade may. We will meet on the corner of McLoughlin & Daniels Streets at 12:00 to check-in. The parade begins at 12:30. The theme is Yes We Can. There will be no afternoon class that day as we will all walk in the parade. Parents will need to accompany their kids if they are walking with our group. You can bring strollers or wagons, maybe even decorated ones!
Parent Conferences are coming up at the end of April but will only be held on Thursday and the school will be closed on Friday because of the Church Rummage Sale. If you would like a conference we can schedule it for Thursday but please feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions.

Brown Bags and Class Murals
Wow we got some great stuff in our brown bags!! Make sure you check out the color sorting we did, they are hanging outside the class. I will also take pictures and post them for those of you who can’t make it into the school regularly. What the children didn’t sort out onto our color posters, we let them pick thru and decide what should go on our class murals. The class murals are turning out great, each child has had the opportunity to work on each mural that we’ve created. (If your child was gone this week they can add to the murals and color posters this week) They are creating some colorful and unique works of art!! Which by the way will be up for auction at the school Carnival.

This is a busy week. We will celebrate Dr. Seuss’ Birthday by cooking green eggs and ham. We will be reading of course Green Eggs and Ham, & Hop on Pop, and One fish two fish. We will create some green eggs and ham art and play fish bingo. We will also finish our murals. In the middle of all of this the Humane Society is coming to our school ( Wednesday & Thursday) to visit the classrooms and talk about animal safety. AG is the volunteer that brings in Cooper, her very well trained dog, and the children learn how to react around strange dogs. It is a very helpful and informative visit. If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact me.
