Happy March!

Well our weather has proven to be in like a lion…let’s all hope that it is going to go out like a lambJ

 

We are having a blast celebrating March and that it is reading month.  We talked about how reading is always fun but we have really enjoyed and celebrated it this month.   This week we read books by Dr. Seuss and this afternoon enjoyed a reward of watching Horton Hears a Who.  We also had fun listening to our mystery reader Mr. Rutgers today. 

 

Language Arts:  We have been working hard on Readers’ Theaters and started performing.  I love watching how the confidence in each of them grows as we practice!  During our writing we have continued working on our persuasive writing about Michigan.  We are currently typing our work in the computer lab and will be making books soon.

 

Math:  We are working in unit 7 and I am so lucky to have great volunteers coming in to practice math facts with all of the kids.

 

Spelling:  This last week was a tough week for most.  If your child had a difficult time, they will have a chance to retake the test Monday.
