Weekly Update for 02/23/15

Snow!

Because of the snow days we had last week, our sight words, vocabulary words, and spelling words will be held over for this week.  I will put a new homework sheet in everyone's red homework folder.  Stay warm!

Read Across America Week

The week of March 2 - 6 will be Read Across America Week.  We will be celebrating a different Dr. Seuss book each day of the week.  Below is a list of the books and the special ways we will be celebrating those weeks:

Mon., March 2     Green Eggs and Ham   wear green

Tues., March 3     Fox in Sox               wear silly socks

Wed., March 4    Oh, the Places You'll Go

                      dress as what you want to be when you

                      grow up or where you want to go

Thurs., March 5   If I Ran the Zoo       

                      bring your favorite stuffed animal to put

                      in the zoo

Fri., March 6       Book Character Day     

                      dress as your favorite book character -

                      it doesn't have to be a Dr. Seuss      

                      character
