March 3-7

March came in like a lion, indeed!  We read a story about how March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb.  If Spring ever comes we will move our morning recess outside for some much needed fresh air.  Please continue to send boots and snow pants.

Kindergarten Conference
I had an amazing two days at the Kindergarten Conference!  I learned so many new things and I am so excited to apply some of things I learned in the classroom.  It was a great experience and I am grateful to the PTO for sponsoring us!

Reading and Writing:
We are working a lot on blends as we read and write.  We are also working on comparing and contrasting characters.  We use Venn Diagrams to help us organize our thoughts.

In writing we have been working on having a beginning, middle and end to our stories.  That means that we are consistently writing three sentences!  (Yay for us!)

In guided reading I have been thrilled with the progress I am seeing.  Students are reading books  with meaning, fluency and comprehension!  Wow!

Math:
Ask your child about our making 10 rainbow.  We are working on drawing pictures to help us solve math problems.  We are also working on writing correct number sentences.
