Dear families,

March 3, 2017

Happy March!

It is so exciting to know that spring is only 17 days away!

The students are diving right into Dr. Seuss with great enthusiasm. I think if time allowed I could read all day and the students would be happy. It is so great to see them so excited about reading, this is what makes Dr. Seuss the most loved children’s author of all times.

We celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday on Thursday, March 2nd, by reading about Dr. Seuss , reading The Cat in the Hat  and making hats. We learned that Dr. Seuss was born in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1904. We also learned his real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel.  

Throughout the month, we will be reading many of his books. I have a lot here in class but if your child has a favorite that they would like to bring in please feel free to do so.

Our letter of the week was, “Gg.” Our tongue twister was “Gail and Gwen grow goodies in their garden.”

In Writer’s Workshop, we wrote responses to a book we read called,”When Sophie gets Angry.” We wrote about things that make us angry and also brainstormed and wrote about strategies we can use to help us when we get angry. We also wrote about things and places that make us happy.

In math, we practiced  addition and subtraction. The students are becoming very proficient with these math skills.

If you are not returning your child’s reading bag, would you please do so. If you have misplaced it can you please let me know and I can make a new one.

Finally, these has been a difficult week with sicknesses. Thank you all for keeping your child home when they are sick. It is a very long day when you are sick in school and not feeling well and germs are so easily spread when you are this little. I hope this weekend allows for some rest and recovery for all of you who have been sick.

Enjoy your weekend.

Sincerely,

Mrs.MacIntyre
