Is it really March already???

Hello everyone!

I can't believe that we are already into March! Where did February go?! I'm hoping for many days of warm and sunny weather ahead. :)

The March & April Scholastic book order forms will be coming home in folders on Monday. If you'd like to order this time, please either place your order online or send your payment into class by this FRIDAY, MARCH 7th! The quick due date is to ensure we receive our books before Spring Break!

We are in the middle of our mini-unit of farm animals and life on the farm. We have been writing about farm animals, reading farm stories, learning about various animals, and much more! If you have a special farm story you would like to share with the class, please let me know. You can either send it to school with your child or set up a time with me to be a guest reader. This week's sharing theme will be: farm.

We have been so busy in class that I haven't updated you on ALL of the learning that has been taking place. Your children are reading and writing up a storm EVERY day! We are focusing on the short o word families (og, ot, ock, op). We are also really working on memorizing our high frequency words. This week I will introduce the word "have". In Math, your children are learning about the value of a penny, nickel, and dime. They are having fun using real money in class to trade in coins and buy fake objects. Please make sure to practice writing from 1 - 30 at home!

I will be sending home take home reading for the week of March 3rd and March 10th, but not March 17th! The public library and Kaleidoscope are great resources for finding books at your child's level to read over Spring Break!

PLEASE TURN IN YOUR FEBRUARY READING LOGS IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SO! THANK YOU!

See you on Monday!
