Monday, March 3rd is Read Across America. Alabama's First Lady, Mrs. Diane Bentley will visit our school and read to grades K4-4th. We are very happy to have her come and expect the children to be on their best behavior!
Read Across America is celebrated in honor of the famous children's author Dr. Seuss. We will celebrate his birthday and writings next week by reading some of his most popular books! The children can dress as their favorite Dr. Seuss character on Wednesday, March 5th. This is optional. If your child does dress up, please make sure they are comfortable and can easily manage their attire in the bathroom all day. We will not change during the school day. To wrap up the fun next week, we will have our Patriot Pals come Friday, March 7th at 12:00 to read with us. Each child needs to bring their favorite Dr. Seuss book to school next week and their pals will read it with them on Friday. I plan to prepare a fun Dr. Seuss treat for our celebration week on Friday. If anyone else would like to send a fun party treat, please feel free to do so. Just send me a note or email.
Academically you will see we are moving on along in K5! We are beginning to read using our long vowel sounds. At this point, fluency is becoming very important! We are adding sums up to 7 and very soon will add up to 8. Please practice math facts at home as well. Look over daily work and discuss areas that need improvement.
REMINDER!!! Spring Break is March 24th-28th.
