We are off to a fun Spirit Week!!

Hello Families!

This was such a fun start to Spring Break Spirit Week!

Today was Silly Socks Day!

We are also enjoying having our guest readers for March is Reading Month! Remember, if any parents would like to be a guest reader on Zoom for us, please message or email me!!!

Mr. Mustonen, our district’s Communications Director, took time from his busy schedule to read Dinner at the Panda Palace by Stephanie Calmenson!!! This is also such an enjoyable time when he reads to us!
We enjoyed hearing Mr. Mustonen read, Dinner at the Panda Palace by Stephanie Calmenson.

Take a look at some of the awesome things we did today!!!

We practiced recognizing teen numbers as one group of ten and some extra ones using our fun tiny erasers, a spinner, and two ten frames.

We began learning about preposition words. We practiced with the word beside. We cut and glued the bunny beside the basket and read the sentence to match the picture as we practiced word by word matching.
We practiced the letter Jj and its sound. We made it our of playdough!
We brainstormed a list of words that begin with the letter Jj’s sound. This friend made a jet!
We enjoy learning about letters in fun and creative ways!
We used our Benchmark Readers to read our Benchmark poem about celebrations and looked for all of the Jjs within the poem.
We do our coming in work in the morning! The children are so great about picking up their magic boards to practice writing the upper and lowercase letters!
We learned facts about baby chickens…chicks! We watched one hatching from an egg in the video below! It was awesome!!! After, we painted our chicks and cut out the paper egg for it to hatch from! We even labeled the chick and the egg in our project!!!

We learned baby chickens are called chicks and that they hatch from eggs! We learned they used their beaks to help break through the egg!!!
We practiced writing a sentence to tell about what we like to celebrate! We used our Benchmark reader books!
We are writers!!
for Spring Break Spirit Week tomorrow, please wear your funniest hat! (Wednesday is Wacky Hair Day, Thursday is Sporty Shirt Day, and Friday is PJ Day!!)

Thank you for all you do!!

Love, Ms. Mehrhof
