We have moved back to our classroom upstairs! The windows are really great! Most of the time we don't even need to have the lights on in our room. This spring it could get warm with only one window and the geo thermal not working yet. I will add some pictures to the next blog post.
March is a busy month! Thanks to all who have been keeping track of minutes read each week at home. We are adding to our hungry caterpillar outside the office door. Each week there is a challenge to see which classroom can read the most minutes. We figured out yesterday that if everyone in our room read for 20 minutes each night our class would read 2,660 minutes for just that week! Just think how much that would help every reader in our room!
Thursday, March 10, is wear ORANGE day! All students are encouraged to wear the color of the day. The whole school will be reading, The Carrot Seed book that day! Last week was BLUE day and we read the book, Blueberries For Sal.
Don't forget all parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles/and anyone else I forgot are invited to come and have lunch anytime this month (just let me know so I can let the kitchen know) and we would love to have guest readers this month as well. Just let me know when it works for you! If it won't work for you to come in person we could always try and SKYPE!!
I have added a few new things to the blog....
•there is a page called spelling words that you can click on and see the weekly spelling words
•if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the blog, you will see an Eagle Cam ....this is live from an eagle's nest in Decorah, Iowa.
•Internet Resources....links to fun places to check out on the web
Until next time....
