March 2nd

Hi everyone-

Today is Dr. Seuss' birthday. We made the cutest Dr. Seuss character that I have displayed on our outside windows. Check them out! We worked really hard this week on our writings and you will see a few of them come home today in your child's BEE book.
The zoo was a big hit! I think the children had a nice time. They enjoyed the bus ride just as much as seeing all the animals.
Next week we will continue writing, reading Dr. Seuss books, working on printing our numbers and shapes, counting by 5's, reviewing snap word and having fun!
I sent home a list of snap words for you to review with your child.
Some ideas are:
go over them each night before bed
make them into flash cards and play games
make two set and play memory
look and point out these words when reading a story
have your child rainbow write (use different colors) and spell them as they write
hide them around the house and have them search for words...they only get to keep it if they can read it.....
I will begin testing the children again on phonics and snap word recognition the last week of March!

Come up soon...St. Patty's Day, Spring and Easter, Bugs and then a large 3 week unit on Farm life that leads us up to Open House!

Thanks and have a super weekend! Mrs. Ellis
