We had a great week last week celebrating Read Across America Week!! Thank you to all that contributed to our celebration with snacks or coming to read!! You made it an awesome week!!

This week as we get back into the swing of things, we will be taking our STAR test tomorrow! (It should have been last week, but the flooding of a couple of rooms made the computer unavailable to us!) I can't wait to see how much they have improved!! I will be sending home the growth charts for you to see! Let me know if you have any questions about those.

This week we will be reading the story "Busy Bees."  We will test on this story Friday, Mar.13th.
We will be working on fluency with page 87.  This will be a great page for you to practice at home with your child this week.

In grammar, we got off track last week (sorry about that), so we moved our test to this Thursday on pronouns.... regular pronouns and reflexive pronouns. We will also be reviewing contractions..to be tested next week.

Spelling/phonics-This week we are learning the /oo/ sound and prefixes re- and non-.  Our test will be on Friday.  Words with the prefix re- mean to do it again. Exp. repay means to pay again.  Words with non- mean to not.  Exp. nonstop means to not stop.

In social science we will finish up our study of penguins and our practice project.  We will begin our own projects on an animal they chose themselves.  They will present their projects to the class next week.

Please remember that Thursday is Spring Picture Day.  Wednesday, Mar. 11th, is the last day to pay for our field trip coming up next week to the Pine Mountain Zoo! We are so excited!!

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

Dear Parents,

     On March 2-6^th, we will be celebrating Read Across America Week.  I have planned a lot of fun activities that will go along with the days Mrs. Shoemaker has planned for us!  We will not do a story in our reading book, but I have other books to read aloud this week to emphasize reading and to use a map of the United States of America to show where these stories took place!! So, we will really be “reading across America.”  I will need your help, if you are willing to provide some of the snacks, please let me know.

Monday_”The Lorax” and “Daisy-Head Mayzie” Day.  If you or a grandparent could come read one of these books….that would be great!  I have cupcakes ordered for Dr. Seuss’ birthday for snack!

Tuesday “The Cat in the Hat” Day—We will wear or you can make a Cat in the Hat hat. We have a guest reader coming.  If I could get a couple of parents to send vanilla ice cream, red and blue sprinkles, cups/bowls, and spoons………that would be great!

Wednesday “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish” Day—Everyone wears red or blue or anything patriotic to celebrate our freedom to read what we choose. Bring a pillow and/or blanket, cause we are having a read-a-thon!! If I could get a couple of parents to send some bags of color goldfish and a capri sun for snack, that would be awesome!!

Thursday “Green Eggs and Ham” Day—We are stuck on this old classic and each child will need a pair of sunglasses as we plan to make a video of this book with our talented fluent reading class! Can’t wait for this!! If any of our parents could make us a treat for this day……..we would so deeply appreciate it!!

Friday “Fox in Socks” Day---wear your crazy socks or mixed colors of socks!! We will have guest readers and plan to use our remaining time to read, read, read!! I have ordered some Read Across America cookies to help us celebrate today!!

So just to recap, no reading story this week, so no reading test or spelling test.  We will use this week to work on word attack skills such as strategies of what to do when we come to words we don’t know. (apply phonics rules, look at prefixes or suffixes, small words with the word, chunking, etc.) We will also be listening to read alouds of stories from different areas in the United States of America and marking them on a map of where they happened. We will have a grammar test on Thursday on pronouns!! Also, we will have math as usual! 😊 If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know!

**If you can help with the snacks on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, please let me know!!

Thank you for your support!! It will be such a fun week to learn and do!
