I hope your spring break was restful and fun! Room 115 knew how to kick off spring break by having a spring egg hunt. Nobody was disappointed that the rain moved the egg hunt inside. Thankful that we had a few extra classrooms in the building that allowed us to spread out the eggs. Thanks for supporting the egg hunt from home by sending in the eggs and thanks to the family members that helped us on our scavenger hunt. Enjoy the above slide show that is full of my favorite funny bunnies.
Field trip money for Click, Clack, Moo is due this Friday.
Monday is Nancy's Italian Ice for $1.00. Please return library books and poetry journals on Monday.
In reading we will be studying the letter "Oo" as in octopus in the office. Word wall words are: have, saw, must.
This week we will finish up our study of 2D shapes. Our next chapter will be learning about 3D shapes. For the remainder of the school year, we will be working very hard on writing our numerals correctly. Be on the look out at home for numbers that are written backwards and direct your child's attention to correcting that number.
Check binders on Monday for a book (or two) written by your child. You may need to ask "Read me this story" or "Tell me about this page." Remember not to worry about conventional spelling but praise the content of the story and the effort. The above slide show is of students who wanted to read their stories to the class. I encourage you to have a writing center set up at your home. Add a stapler and scotch tape for even more excitement.
The other day I was reading an article about how painting can make children clever, improve academic success and improve appropriate behavior. Funny thing about research, kids don't know it. They just do what comes naturally. I do know for a fact that Room 115 had fun making shapes into spring bunnies.
Check out all those aviators outside our door. Our class is achieving the AR point clubs at a fast pace. The more your child practices at reading, the better the reader he will be. I expect at least one AR test a week.
