March is here! Hopefully we have great weather approaching us soon!

Our literacy unit is all about weather. Last week, we focused on the type of weather and how it feels. This week we will discuss the weather with seasons in more detail using describing words (adjectives). This is perfect for this time of year. We are observing different weather changing from the winter season to the spring!

We are also celebrating our famous author Dr. Seuss. We will read story classics like The cat in the hat, The foot book, Green eggs and ham, one fish two fish-red fish blue fish and Hop on pop! We will discuss rhymes and create fun activities to go along with it. Ask your child what they did today!!

Letters of the week: Bb, Ll

Word family:-an (fan, can, man, ran, tan, van,ban, pan)

Spelling words: and, what, pan, man, tan, fan

Writing: Its all about writing sentences! We talked about 4 important things about a sentence.

1. Does your idea make sense?
2. Did you start your sentence with a capital letter?
3. Do you have space between each word?
4. Did you use an end mark (punctuation) at the end of your sentence?

Math: We will continue counting 1-100, counting by 5’s and 10’s. We will begin counting by 2’s to 30 ( if we can go higher, that would be great!). We will review coin exchange and counting coins together using pennies, dimes and nickels.  We will also create a goldfish graph.

Science: We will continue our waterproofing experiment. We will discuss items that will keep us from getting wet (dry). We will be reviewing seasons.

Social Studies: We look at different parts of the world and compare their weather to ours!
