Hello Families,

We had such a fun week celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday!

Wow, it is March and it is almost spring! Here is a peek at next week:

In science, we will be talking about the weather and different types of clouds.  We have many books and poems that we will be reading. 

In Writer's Workshop, we will be starting our new unit on opinion writing.  They turn out very cute because we ask them to write about if they have opinions on what we could change at school.  One year, our students helped get the track in the upper playground get fixed because so many wrote about it. 

In Reader's Workshop, students will be introduced to being a "super reader. " Students will be show their powers by looking around the room and other places to identify familiar words.  Then, they will use "pointer power" to point to words as they read.  

word wall words: little, girl  

In math students will be identifying solid and flat shapes.  We will identify and compare shapes using vocabulary words like face, sides, corners etc.  Students will be making different sizes of shapes.  We will also continue to practice addition and subtraction facts.
