Is everyone surviving the constant end of the year madness???!!!  Every time I get overwhelmed with the number of requests, lists, games, parties, projects and small meltdowns...I remind myself how lucky I am to be a part of this AMAZING community.

Reading:  Yes.  We are still finding time to read.  I completed the DIBELS assessment and will do at least one more week of guided reading next week.  We are working on using context clues to figure out unknown words.  We are also learning about reading fluently by reading smoothly and making it sound  like we are talking.

Writing:  We worked on planning our stories this week so we could include more details.  We continue to use the story hand.

Math:  We are working on greater than and less than.  We are also working on mental math strategies and counting on.  Base ten concepts are also a daily review skill.  

Upcoming Events:

Countdown:

Tuesday is P:  Pajama Day-wear pajamas that can be worn outside for the weather.  Slippers are fine for our inside time, but be sure to pack shoes for recess.  

Wednesday is Q:  Girls are Queens! (If girls are wearing glass slippers...they need to be able to walrk all the way to Rehm Park or bring a change of shoes.) This is also Picnic and Play:  We need a few more volunteers.  Can you help?  

Thursday is R:  Reading Day-Bring a towel to read on when we read outside.  A favorite book from home is great, too!

Friday is Super Hero Day:  Dress like your favorite super hero!
