This week we have been involved in Read Across America and have done our fair share of reading. We have celebrated Dr. Seuss and his famous birthday with several of his most popular children's books. The kids love the repetition, rhyming and silliness of his stories...so do I! This week we have also done quite a bit of assessments to see how the kids are progressing. I will have lots of data and work to share with you at conferences. In saying that you should have all received your conference day and time. I have heard back from almost everyone confirming your appointment, but if something changes or you need to reschedule let me know ASAP. Next week will also be the spring book fair. You are invited to attend all week but on Thursday, March 10th the book fair will be open from 7:30 am until 7:00 pm to shop for some great books. Thursday morning is also "Doughnuts with Dad" so bring dad to shop and have a doughnut to share!
In class we are spending 1/2 of the week doing center rotations. The kids love the change of pace and have done great with working independently in their groups. Ask them which center is their favorite. In math we are finishing up our graphing unit and will soon begin readiness for addition and subtraction. The kids are ready for this and have done several addition activities in class and within the homework. Look for some new math to be coming home soon! Next week is going to be busy with conferences, short days and awards assemblies. Please email or call if you have questions in regards to any of the above mentioned items. Thanks for your support...I look forward to meeting with all of you next week!
