Dear Parents,
This Friday is Read Across America Day, an event held in classrooms across the United States to bring awareness the wonders and magic found when you simply pick up a book... and read! March 2nd is Dr. Seuss’s birthday, so we’ll be celebrating that as well. So, on Friday please have your scholar bring in his/her favorite Dr. Seuss book to share with the class.
This Week’s Lessons...
In Phonics, review our “short u” and “short o” words that we’ve learned with art projects and worksheets. Our spelling words reflect this concept. Please note, the spelling words this week have two words the scholars might not readily know: rut and rod. We will learn these new words by understanding words that rhyme with them and with our new book in our phonics series, Hot Rods.
In math, we will finish our chapter on numbers 10-30 and take the chapter test on Tuesday. We will then jump right into Chapter 8: Money. This chapter starts with the concept of pennies and how to count them. Next week we will explore nickels, dimes, and quarters. Please help your child understand the value of each coin at home by showing him/her what’s in your pockets and wallets and how you use the money.
Book Club...
Here are a few phonics series for early reading - these are great sets to get to keep reinforcing early reading skills:
Enjoy!
Volunteering...
We now have a calendar hanging on the “NEWS” bulletin board by the front door of our classroom. Please flip through the months and sign up for a few spots. Separate volunteer sign-up forms will go out for holiday parties (as usual, on our clipboard).
As Always...
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to email me, stop by the classroom, talk to Ms. Diane, or leave a comment on our blog. Please become a “follower” of our blog and “like” our school’s Facebook page, if you haven’t already done so.
Have a terrific week!
Mrs. Stuhr
