THIS WEEK WE HAVE read several versions of The Three Little Pigs, like THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, THE THREE

LITTLE PIGS AND THE SOMEWHAT BAD

WOLF, BIG BAD WOLF IS GOOD, THE

THREE NINJA PIGS and BIG BAD WOLF IS

GOOD . We have been talking about similarities

and differences in the different adaptations.

FYI I will be absent from school this coming up

Monday, March 16th for a doctors appointment in Birmingham. I will not be able to check email

until that night so please call the office for any

immediate needs.

Have a hard time getting your child to tell you

ANYTHING about their day at school? Take a

look at our classroom blog

(mmrrssssjjoonneessccllaassss..bbllooggssppoott..ccoomm)!! It is a great way

to help facilitate conversations at home and also

gives you information for specific questions to ask

(like who shared today? and what was their story about?) Newsletters, parent readings, useful websites, pictures and our daily journal topics are

available for you and your child. Any comments

or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

NEEDED I need everyone to fill out and return the zoo

permission form (along with $10) that is in this

weeks Friday Folder. PTO donated money for

this trip that covers some of the cost, which means

our students are receiving a discounted price. If

you see any PTO officer, please thank them for this

generous gift! I will send you a reminder for the

lunch you ordered your child (according to what

you mark on the permission form) and some

guidelines closer to time.

If your mailbox is like mine, it is constantly full of

credit card applications, bills, donation requests,

subscriptions, etc. If you find yourself tossing the

return envelopes in the trash, we would love to

have them in our writing center!

PARENT READING This weeks reading is titled A Very Scary Headline About Kindergarteners and is extremely

insightful! There is a section that specifically

explains the issue(s) plus what schools, educators

and families can do to address the problem(s). If

you signed up for the Paperless Classroom Communication option, this reading can be found on the right side of our blog under Suggested

Parent Readings.

ONE LAST THING The Friends of the Auburn Public Library will hold
