March is Read Aloud Month!


In our busy lives it is easy to push reading aloud to the back burner. We must remember what a gift we give our children when we read aloud to them. Like Jim Trelease says,"The best S.A.T. prep course is to read to your children when they're little." Our kids are still little. Let's read!

News Flash!

Hello, all! I hope you are having a pleasant weekend. Remember, tomorrow is a teacher workday. Some students were telling me that they plan to work on their fish projects on Monday. I have heard many great ideas. I can't wait to see what they come up with!
Classroom Update: We have started to tally up our good behavior. Each time our class receives a compliment, or earns a perfect score in Specials, or transitions well throughout the day we record our accomplishment with a tally mark on the board. When we collect 30 tally marks we will celebrate with a voted upon activity. We already have 4 tally marks! We voted last week for our first celebration to include "Performances." Several students will showcase their talents. Please let me know if you would like to join us.

Valentine’s Day information:
We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day by exchanging Valentines cards on February 14th. As a class we will be decorating bags to put our Valentines in.

We need your help! The children will need Valentine’s themed decorations for their bags (hearts, cupid, love, flowers, etc). Stickers, stencils, doilies, feathers and other lovely things are much appreciated by Friday, Feb. 10!

To help your child address his/her Valentines to their classmates, we have provided the class list below. (If your child chooses to participate, please make sure your child gives a Valentine to every child in the class.)
