New Stuff

I hope this update finds you with power, and houses intact.
March already...

Just a few bits of news...
1. READING HOMEWORK-
You'll find a new weekly book log to track your home reading. The booklet wasn't working, the post-its are over running the place, so...here I go with another brilliant idea. Thank you for bearing with me.

2. COIN QUEST-
There is a yellow sheet explaining this in backpacks today. Basically, find your loose change, and bring it to school!!! The class with the most poundage will win a pizza party! So, ask your aunts, uncles, grandparents and dogs to dig up some pennies!

3. MATH-
As you have noticed, our focus has moved to geometry. We will be building a shape museum! Please send in shapes in household objects. We will be sorting and naming these two and three dimensional shapes. Thank you!

4. READING & WRITING-
We have been examining nonfiction texts for features that authors use to help us learn. We have identified photographs, table of contents, labels and captions thus far. So, if you notice these in books you read, share them with your child.

5. REWARD-
The next reward will be a Pizza Party! When we achieve our goal, I will be asking for each child to contribute $1 to the cost of Pizza. Let me know if you are available to pick it up.

6. CONFERENCES-
I am revising the dates and you should have a sign up sheet in Tuesday's backpack.
