March is Reading Month

I would like to invite parents to come in and read a favorite children’s book to the class. I will send home a note soon so you can sign up. The kids love it!

Literacy Night is Thursday, March 2 from 5:00 – 6:30. It is a fun night of reading and writing activities! Visit our classroom, room 211, for Dr. Seuss Reader’s Theater.

Our next Late Start is Wednesday, March 15. School begins at 9:40.

Midwinter break is here from February 20 -February 24. 

Hopefully, the weather will be nice and the children will be able to get outside and play.

Please remind your child to read every day. The local library is a great place for the children to pick out books that interest them. The books should be “good fit” books. Students should be able to read most of the words.

Practice your basic math facts. Our goal is to know from memory basic facts with sums to 20.

Homework – Students neatly fill out the All About Me page. These will be hung in the hallway so please have them think about their answers before they write so they are neat and make sense.

Scholastic News – Read and answer the questions on the back. Please put your name on the front.

Have fun! Go outside and play!
