Feb. 25-March 1

Hello Families,

This week, we are celebrating on of our favorite author, Dr. Suess!!! His birthday is March 3. Read Across America is March 2.  We will be having activities in math, reading, art, and science that are themed with Dr. Suess.  Students who want to dress up daily to match the book we are reading that day.  Also, students can bring in a book to share of Dr. Suess.  We will dress up on Friday with our hats and bow ties.

Monday: Dress up in stripes for "The Cat in the Hat"
Tuesday: Dress up in green for  "Green Eggs and Ham"
Wednesday: mix and match (backwards, inside out, etc.) for "Wacky Wednesday"
Thursday: something red or blue for "One fish Two fish Blue fish Red fish"
Friday:  Crazy socks "Fox on Socks"

Word wall words: want, feet

Writers workshop: Finishing up our "How to" book and celebrating on Friday with our buddies.

In Math:  In counting collections, students are exploring grouping of 2's, 5's, 10's, and other grouping.  Please practice at home.  Also, we have been discussing "place value" and counting the 10 way.  For example: for 12 it is 1 ten two.  This is to help with placing the ten in the correct place.

In Readers workshop: We are focusing on sounding out words instead of guessing.  You can use clues with the pictures to identify each letter in the word.

Thanks to the parents who helped with the Math Festival!  The class had a great time exploring the different math activities.

Thanks for walking students to the upper playground in the morning.  It has been very cold in the mornings, so please send jacket or sweatshirt to school.

Next round of sharing for "Star of the Day"!! Something about spring.  Put it in a bag with 3 clues and their name.

Have a great week,
Ms. Werner
