Happenings for the week of Feb 28 – March 4, 2011
On Friday, March 4 we will be celebrating Dr. Seuss birthday and “Read across America Day”. We will have guests from Bloomsburg University coming to our class to read a Dr. Seuss book and do an activity. That afternoon we will have a guest reader visit as well to read another Dr. Seuss story.
In phonics we will be learning about the letter V. Word list 14 has been sent home in your child’s folder and I will be testing this list beginning on Thursday, March 3. We will NOT have show and tell this week due to our Dr. Seuss Day activities.
In reading, we have finished up unit 3 and will have our unit 3 benchmark assessment test. We will begin unit 4 with the story “Bunny Day”. Our focus skill will be sequencing.
In math, we are learning about comparing shapes using words like shortest or shorter, taller, tallest, longer, longest, etc... We will also be practicing with the numbers from 10 – 20 and reviewing patterning.
Please note that the week of March 7 – 11 is Newspaper in Education Week. If you subscribe to the Republican, please take time to check out the want ads each night that week to find “ads” from myself and other teachers from our school.
Monday, Feb. 28 will be day 4 in our four day cycle. We will be having computer class.
Have a great weekend!
