The week of Mar. 4-8.

Whew!  Thank heavens we had school today!  We should find out this week how we are making up the 2 days.  The school board meets tonight to discuss it. 

Fish Bowl Auction donations!  Please consider donating for our wonderful fundraiser!  So far, I only have 4 that have made a donation.  We would like it no later than Friday, so the ladies can have plenty of time to purchase items for our basket!  Plus we have to buy a basket to put the items in!  Thank you for your help!

Book-it calendars are due by Wed. Mar. 6 please!  Help your child earn a free book by turning in all 6 calendars!  March is our last month for Book-it!  Remember to sign your name and have your child write their name at the bottom.  :)

Math homework!  I apologize for the vague directions at the bottom of the first page.  I hadn't read them.  Just make up your own problem.  So, it could be 5 birds, 2 go, 3 left.  I hope that helps!
Please make sure all are turned in tomorrow!  

Dr. Seuss' birthday was Saturday.  Today we read The Cat in the Hat and made a hat like the cat's and added words that rhyme with cat.  The kids liked being the Cat in the Hat!  We will be doing more Dr. Seuss activities this week and reading as many of his books we can fit in!
See the picture below!

Reading this week!  
We are going to be tying in our reading and science together the next couple of weeks.  The unit is on weather.  Our book is called, The Weather and the Seasons.  We will be talking about how we are affected by the weather each season: what types of weather we have in each season and how we should dress.

We will be observing the weather each day after spring break by measuring the temperature and filling it in on a thermometer, and filling out a daily weather book with the temperature, what the weather is like, and what we should be wearing for that temperature.

I will not be sending home little readers this week either.  I'll be bench marking students all week.
Continue to have your child read the little paper books that come home weekly!  The more they read the better reader they become!

Letter of the week:  Yy (we act like we are yawning with our arm action)
There are 4 letters left--Vv, Qq, Xx, Zz, then we will learn more about the long vowels and dipthongs (th, sh, wh, ch)  
sight words:  word, when

Spelling week 2!  Our words this week are:  as, the, we, by, be and bonus word: blue.

Handwriting:  h, b (tall letters beginning in the sky) The b and d are written differently.  The b starts in the sky and the d starts like a c.  If they are written correctly, reversals should not happen.

Math this week!  This week we are continuing with subtraction and will take the test on Friday.  The class seems to understand the concept of taking away.
Try to use adding and subtracting in your child's everyday skills when you can!
