Funny Bunnies

Oh I how love these funny bunnies!  How fortunate I am that these are who I get to spend 7 hours a day with.  Thought you would be interested to know that the children chose the colors of their bunnies by a very, very secret ballot.   No one knew  what color anyone else was choosing.  We solved the problem of a rainstorm interrupting our plans by utilizing the stage, Mr. Darby's art room and the breezeway!    Thank you for sending in the eggs and thanks to the parents that were able to assist with the scavenger hunt.  (Some of you sneak out without me getting a photo of you with your child!)  Enjoy the photos here Spring Egg Hunt photos.

Field Day is Thursday.  You may want to apply sunscreen to your child before coming to school.  The children may wear a hat or sunglasses but they are responsible for carrying any personal items and keeping up with those items.   Please dress your child in the yellow field trip t-shirt for Thursday so that I can keep track of everyone quickly.  We will be participating in Field Day from 8:30-11:00.  Please join us if your schedule allows. 

Nancy's Italian Ice ($1.00) and our library day is Monday.  Don't forget to send in payment and permission slip for our Zoo field trip by Monday, April 28,.

We began to think of our moms in a very special way last week.  I hope you enjoyed our poem from last week and you finished reading the poem by turning it upside down.  We even did a directed drawing of our moms.  Check out the lovely moms of Room 114 here.  All of our hard work will come home in back packs on Friday, May 9.  Don't ask any questions or you will ruin our surprise for our moms.

In reading, we are investigating the letter Xx and we continue the high frequency words of yellow, green and blue.  In math, we continue to work with numbers up to 100 for the next week.  Help us count to 100 and use the chart on the back of the binder to find numbers.  Don't be surprised if your child flip flops numbers (ex.  your child points to 36 if you say 63.)

In reading instruction, we've been working on punctuation, telling sentences and questions.  We've been focusing on question words.  Last week, we began to write a friendly letter to one of our classmates.  I love the concentration found in these writing photos.  Room 114 is full of hard workers!

Please send in one or two LARGE glue sticks for your child to use for the remainder of the school year.
