Hello All,
This coming week is literacy week. The theme this year is “Live a Thousand Lives.” It comes from the quote by George R.R. Martin that says, ” A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.” Our class drew the letter W for the word wall that the school will be creating at the front of the school. The students helped create a W out of some old watercolor paintings we made. We used the watercolors we made from old dried out markers to make this.
The spelling bee for lower el will be Tuesday at 9 a.m. We had our class spelling bee Friday to find our top 3 spellers. I am very proud of all who participated in this. It takes a lot of courage to get in front of your classmates and spell. It was wonderful to see all who were willing to try. The 3 spellers who will be representing our class in the lower el spelling bee are Kaitlyn, Landon, and Cody. Congrats to them.
Literacy night is Thursday from 6 – 8. I am not sure if this is for parents and students. I will let you know as soon as I find out.
This week is the week our president biography home projects are due. Please get them in as soon as you can. We also will be having music and P.E. tomorrow because we switched with a class who has a field trip tomorrow. Please make sure your child has good shoes for running in tomorrow.
Ms. SarahJo will be teaching us about Mardi Gras this week. We will not be learning about the partying side of it that many people think of when thinking of Mardi Gras. We will learn about things like why it is celebrated and the meaning behind it. We would like to have the students create little floats. If you have any shoe boxes or shoe box sized boxes, we would love to have them by Thursday.
Thank you for all your support.
