Next week is Read Across America Week!! We are doing some things at school to celebrate our love for reading and also to honor Dr. Seuss since his birthday is March 2. These are some of the things we are doing:
**Each grade level was asked to choose a poem and one representative to read a part of poem. These poems were recorded and were sent to the radio station. I am not sure when they are being played. When I find out I will let you know.
**Your child was asked to bring in his/her favorite book. The art teachers have been working with them on a book jacket project. Students were asked to make 2 posters: the first was the front cover of their book and the back is a favorite character or part of the book. Using string, the 2 posters were tied together. Next week they will wear their favorite book during the day!
**Friday of next week your child will be reading with another class. We will have munchie reading!! We will be paired up with an older class and the two students will sit and read together. Of course, since it is munchie reading they will have a snack and a drink. A note will come home next week asking you to send a snack and drink to school with your child. Please don't send anything until the note comes home.
**Finally, if you would like to come in and read a story to the class this would be the perfect time for you to do that!!! If you are interested please send a note to school or e-mail me and we can finalize times. You and your child can pick a favorite book for you to read. Here are some times that would work in our schedule:
Tuesday, February 28: 9:30 - 11:20 or 3:00 - 3:20
Wednesday, February 29: 9:00 - 10:40
Thursday, March 1: 9:00 - 11:20
Since we started a new unit in literacy there are new comprehension strategies on the side of the blog. Please take a look at those and reinforce them with your child when you are reading at home.
I hope everyone has a super weekend!!
