Here
goes nothing...first day of our blog! We are very excited about finding a
more efficient and informative way of sharing your children's learning and
their work. This should be a lot of fun! We are still putting all the pieces to blogging together. If you want to keep up to date on what we are doing the best way you can do that is to submit your email in the box to the right. An email will be sent to you to inform you a new post has been added to our blog. The posts will not be on a schedule. This will allow us greater flexibility and improve the timing of our news. You will no longer need to wait till you receive Friday's newsletter to learn about what we did on Monday.
Today
was a day full of Seuss! On March 2nd Dr. Seuss celebrated another
birthday.
We
celebrated it today with many of his books and accompanying activities.
We had been reading Dr. Seuss books all week. Did you know he published
44 books?
Ask
your child about his/her favorite.
Today we learned about how important
it is to be dependable from Horton in "Horton Hatches the Egg."
Yertle the Turtle reminded us how lucky we are to have freedom. Yesterday we made min-posters for the "Bully X Project." We had a great discussion stemming from "Yertle the Turtle" about how important it is that we stomp out bullying. Everyone deserve happiness and fairness.
The Sneetches in "Sneetches" :) taught us how we should be proud of who we are and that the heart of a person is WAY more important than how someone looks.
This went well with our recent study on Martin Luther King
Jr. The students made many connections.
