Dr. Seuss Week

Dear Parents,

As always Dr. Seuss week has started out with great fun.  On Monday we read Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? and students practiced the different sounds in the book.  Today (Tuesday) we read Hop on Pop and The Lorax.  Students created the truffula trees using construction paper and their fluffy tops using paint.  Wednesday and Thursday I will be out, but Mr. Mike will continue with our Dr. Seuss theme.  On Wednesday we will be discussing Green Eggs and Ham.  On Thursday and Friday we will be discussing The Cat in the Hat as well as celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday with a special treat. 

Starting Monday we will begin our unit on Community Helpers and our new nursery rhyme I'm a Little Tea Pot.  If you have a job that you would like to come in and discuss with the kids please let me know.

March's Homework
The homework for March is a Yes I Can Poster.  Exceptional Children's week is the first week of March.  During Exceptional Children's week we celebrate our special children here at the school.  There are posters of various famous individuals with disabilities around the school showing how they worked hard and triumphed.  I would like each of my children to make posters showing all the things they can do.  You can put pictures of your child, statements of what they can do, drawings, or magazines pictures.  You can put any statement on the poster that your child can do (I can swim, I can run, I can dress myself, I can add, I read, etc.).  These posters will be displayed around the school.  If you would not like your child's ppster displayed outside the classroom please let me know; however, the students take a lot of pride walking and seeing their posters up around the school.  Please have your poster to me by Monday, March 4!

Just a reminder I am out on Wednesday and Thursday.  Please call the front office with any concerns.
