Happenings for the week of March 7 – 11, 2011

On Friday, we had visitors from Bloomsburg University who came to read a Dr. Seuss book and do a book related activity. We also had a special guest reader in the afternoon, Miss Prushinski, our guidance counselor. We really appreciate their visit and thank them for making our Read across America Day great!
This week is NIEW (Newspaper in Education Week). Please remember to look in the want ads for my ad Students who bring in the ad will receive a little treat.
This week in phonics we will be working on the letter J. We will resume show and tell this Friday. Please help your child find something that begins with the letter J. We are also continuing with our word lists. Our test will be on Friday, March 11.
In math we are going to be working on counting by 5’s. We will discuss the nickel and practice using them. We will review the dime and the penny. We are also going to be continuing practicing AB, ABB, and ABC patterns. We will do a bit of graphing as well.
In reading, our next story is called “My Lucky Day”. It is a fantasy story about a tricky fox and a very lucky pig. Our focus skill will be cause and effect.
Monday will be day 1 in our four day cycle. We will have art class.
Have a great weekend!
