Show and Tell
This year, show and tell has been a fantastic way for the students to not only practice their public speaking skills, but to gain a better understanding of letter sounds. Learning letter sounds is like learning the basic building blocks of reading and writing, which helps children become strong readers and writers as they grow. Practicing letter names and letter sounds daily will be so beneficial for the children as they prepare for kindergarten in the fall.
Check out all the things the children shared for the /d/ sound!
We are looking forward to sharing about the Pre-K students progress at parent/teacher conferences on Thursday, March 20, and Friday, March 21. If you have not already signed up for a time, please do so here.
Our Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 7th graders have organized a snack drive that will run from Monday, March 10 - Monday, March 17. We are collecting non-perishable snacks to give to Murphy's Giving Market, a local food pantry and volunteer organization. A decorated pink box is currently sitting at the front (Shadeland Ave) entrance. Please feel free to drop off any non-perishable snacks there any time you happen to be at Holy Child. If you have any questions, please email mpurnell@holychildacademy.com.
Please have your child prepare three clues to help their classmates guess what object they chose to share. The show and tell topics for March:
- Friday, March 14: something that begins with /w/
- Friday, March 21: NO SCHOOL - conferences
Uniform Schedule for March 10-14
Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday: gym uniforms
Thursday-Friday: regular uniforms
