Hello Families,

This week, we are celebrating one of our favorite authors, Dr. Suess!!! His birthday is on Monday, March 2.  We will be doing activities in math, reading, art, and science that are themed with Dr. Suess.  Students who want to dress up daily to match the book we are reading are welcome to do so.  Also, students can bring in a Dr. Seuss book to share.  It should be a super fun week!

Monday: Dress up in stripes for "The Cat in the Hat"
Tuesday: Dress up in green for  "Green Eggs and Ham"
Wednesday: mix and match (backwards, inside out, etc.) for "Wacky Wednesday"
Thursday: something red or blue for "One fish Two fish Blue fish Red fish"
Friday:  Crazy socks "Fox on Socks"

Word wall words: want, feet

Writing workshop: Finishing up our "How to" book and celebrating on Friday with our buddies.

In Math:  In counting collections, students are exploring grouping of 2's, 5's, 10's, and other grouping.  Please practice at home.  We have also been discussing "place value" and counting the 10 way.  For example: for 12 it is 1 ten two, 13 is 1 ten 3, etc.  This is to help with placing the ten in the correct place. 

In Readers workshop: We are focusing on sounding out words instead of guessing.  You can use clues with the pictures to identify each letter in the word.

Nightly Homework:  Thank you for reading nightly with your child.  Please remember to sign the front of the envelope and return as soon as they master it.  I will not be sending books home on Fridays.

Wish List:

Paper towels Clean up wipes
Baby wipes
prizes for prize box
CD Player/Boom box- My CD player broke and I have so many cute kinder songs on cd that we can no longer listen to.  If you have an old one that you would be willing to give up, it would be greatly appreciated!
