Hi! We unfortunately did not catch any leprechauns. However, we did find some pretty great treats in our traps so we were happy with that! We had a couple of new activities at the OT YMCA on Tuesday. We used the rock wall and a bounce house. We are sad that next Tuesday is our last time there for this year! We made rainforest layer books and wrote autobiographies about our past, present and future. We learned about sloths and made some for our room. We rehearsed for our play. Everyone is getting really good at their parts. We finished up our Unit 6 assessment in Math and begin Unit 7. We had our March Flex Friday. Ask your child where s/he went!
We competed in a couple of contests this week! We drew dream dragons for Tracey West, author of Dragon Masters, in hopes of getting our pictures put on her website AND winning an autographed copy of her newest latest Dragon Masters book. We also took part in Read Across Maine's contest of reading many different kinds of genre and filling in a Bingo Board. We're hoping to win $250 to go shopping for new classroom books!
I would like to clean out lockers next week. We are so ready to get rid of boots and snow pants! If you could send in an extra bag for your child to pack everything in that would be very helpful!
We have finished up our digraphs in UFLI. Next week we will begin long vowels that have an e on the end. Our pattern will be a_e.
