Today
Today was a great way to end before our break. We had a couple of special treats. Ms. Susan helped us make a healthy snack of peanut butter bear sandwiches. We toasted bread, spread peanut butter, used raisins for eyes and a mouth, and used banana slices for ears and nose. Also we went to a good bye party for our friend Mr. Gordon (an assistant in Mr. Mena's room). The kids made a sign and gave him hugs to wish him good luck at his new school.
Box Top Winners
We received the wonderful news that we were the Box Top winners for our grade level! The class has $60 to spend on new supplies. (We received an extra 10% for being winners.) I let the kids pick out a new toy for the toy area (a matchbox car ramp). Also the money will be spent on two battery interrupters, insta snow, and sunprints sheets. Thanks so much for collecting your box tops and turning them in. If you want go ahead and start collecting for next year. =) Remember each boxtop turned in brings $0.10 back to the classroom!
From Ms. Brooke
I hope everyone is ready for spring break! Since you will have your little ones home with you and maybe looking for some activities for the car or to occupy time at home, here is a few books with early developing sounds I recommend to read together or have the child explore on their own:
Cat in the Hat by: Dr. Seuss
The Tale of Peter Rabbit by: Beatrix Potter
Dr. De Soto by: William Steig
Fish is Fish by: Leo Lionni
Almost all books by Eric Carle
