Happy Friday!
We have just finished up another fun week in room #14. The students enjoyed celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday and Read Across America this week. We also had to chance to listen to Mrs. Broudy and Mrs. Rhoden read a Dr. Seuss book each morning on the announcements. The children had fun predicting where Thing 1 and Thing 2 would be each day as they read to the class from different locations every morning. The students had a surprise today when my daughter, Taylor was able to come from North Carolina to read to them.
Enjoy these pictures from our week:
This week we enjoyed listening to Dr. Seuss stories . We worked really hard on explaining: Who were the important characters in the story? Where/When was the setting? What was the problem? How did they solve it? We also reviewed digraphs ch, sh, th, and wh. We practiced finding sight words: over, away. In math this week, we worked on identifying and reading a given numeral up to 20 and constructing a corresponding set of objects. In science this week, we identified and described objects that sink or float.

Thanks to all of the parents who have signed up to help us chaperone our field trip to CMOR. I will send an email on Monday to let you know which parents will be able to ride the bus with us to the museum. I will pick the names out of a hat to make it fair. The remaining parents will have to drive behind the bus. Thanks so much for your understanding. Each class is only allowed three chaperones on the bus.
I hope everyone has a terrific weekend. Remember to set your clocks up an hour since Daylight Savings Time begins on Saturday night at midnight.
