Dear Families,

Thank you so much to all of you who were able to attend Spring Conferences!  It was so great to be able to chat with you again!

Our first week of reading month was a huge success!!  Yesterday we were able to ‘Read at the Beach,’ and today we enjoyed wearing our beach hats!  We’ve also tied some ocean activities into our science for this month, and we have had a great time learning about ocean animals and making wave bottles.

We have started writing our own books in writing.  The students have been working through the whole writing process of planning, writing, illustrating, editing, and revising.  When they finish a book, they will have the opportunity to share with the whole class in the Author’s chair.  I’m excited to see how all of their writing is progressing!

In reading we have been working on reading to someone.  Each student has a partner, and we’ve been working on our fluency by reading our books with our partners and listening to their reading! Please encourage your child to keep up the good work!

After being spoiled by some warmer weather, we do have quite a bit of snow again.  Please remember to send all necessary snow clothes to school with your child each day:  snowpants, coat, hat, mittens, and boots.  If they do not have snowpants or boots, they need to stay on the cement area during recess, and that’s not quite as much fun for them.

If you have any questions or concerns about your child or our classroom, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Thanks!
