Pizza Party

This Thursday we are having a Pizza Party!
No need to pack a lunch or buy a ticket!
Please send in $1 to help defray the cost of the pies (I do realize this is a NJ term).
I have juice boxes and plates.
If you are willing to send in baby carrots or grapes, please let me know.

Thank YOU!

Labels...out in the WORLD

When I was out and about this vacation, I found a great example of LABELS. Just HAD to take a picture. Some of us have included labels in our very own Information Books.

You Read to Me, I'll Read to You

Stopping to Listen

Mr. C stops to listen to IG and HA read from You Read to Me, I'll Read to You series. What great text that allow two readers to read (cooperatively) back and forth, and at the same time. My daughter and I still enjoy these at bedtime. Let's see if I can figure out HOW to record (and post) their reading. Hmmm...

Woodside One Wheelers

The Woodside One Wheelers were in Washington DC, this weekend for the Cherry Blossom Parade. What an honor for this group of students and our district.

Here's a link the the WOW website. Check them out!

Informational Writing

1. As you probably know, we have done a little research... We have begun a fact book of our own. We are focusing on different text features, such as, labels, table of contents, captions, maps, and bullets. Ask your child what pages they have done in their book.

2. Thursday, April 15 at 1:30 we will be hosting Jason Gibbons (AKA The White Shadow) in the gym. If you have been to a Red Claws game, you have seen him shooting half court shots (backward) and keeping the crowd energized. He was/is a part of the Harlem Superstar team. Amazing ball handling skills and supposed to be motivational to students. Anyway, you are more than welcome to join us. I'm excited!

3. Today was picture day! We ARE a good looking group. :)
