Hello Families,
Wow, it is March!!! It is almost spring! We will be talking about the weather and different types of clouds. We have many books and poems that we will be reading.
In Writer's workshop, we will be starting our new unit in opinion writing. They turn out very cute because we ask them to write about if they have opinions on what we could change at school. One year, our students helped get the track in the upper playground get fixed because so many wrote about it.
In reader's workshop, students will be introduced to being a super reader. Students will be show their powers by looking around the room and other places to identify familiar words. Then, they will use pointer power to point to words as they read. Then students will be asked to read with a partner.
word wall words: little, girl (please practice past words (said, this, that, come, feet)
In math: Students will be identifying solid and flat shapes. We will identify and compare shapes using vocabulary words like face, sides, corners etc. Students will be making different sizes of shapes. We will also continue to add and subtract with word problems.
This year the theme for our Auction is "Monopoly". This is our biggest fundraising event to raise money for our school to have special assemblies, math festivals, supplies for classrooms, programs for education, etc. In order for all classes to help, we are creating a class basket themed "Learning Sensory/Play dough". Kristi, our room parent, has already sent an email in regards to donating to this basket. Anything with Sensory/Kinesthetic themed would be great. We need all donations in by March 22!!! We will be selling the baskets at the Auction and they will be displayed in the Library the week before the Auction. Please make an effort to donate to the basket, join us for the auction on Saturday, April 13th and have a great time meeting many other families!!!!
