Wax Museum success!!

A HUGE thank you to all the parents!!  Your support of your students' education definitely showed through their costumes and obvious practice and rehearsal.  All of the kids did amazing yesterday during their presentations.  Not only did they have to present to you and me, but to two 6th grade classes and one 4th grade class!  What a way to develop the confidence to speak in front of others!  They'll be taking home their final grade after Spring Break, but of course you will be able to view through ParentVue once I post and finalize the grades.

We have continued our work with telling time to the nearest hour, half hour, and quarter hour.  We have also continued our "how to" writing, which will be finished after Spring Break.  This week is also "Read Across America", celebrating the writing genius of Dr. Seuss (hence the crazy dress-ups!).  Tomorrow is crazy sock day, and Friday is the school book character parade.  Students can dress up as their favorite book characters like Junie B. Jones, Jigsaw Jones, Horrible Harry- just to name a few.  Students are not required to dress up, it's just a suggestion.  Either way, everyone can participate in the parade.  I would ask that students who are dressing up, are actually using a book character- this is not a Halloween costume parade.  We also decorated our door for the guest author, Jennifer J. Stewart, to judge.  I'd post a picture, but it has the kiddos' faces so I really don't think I should.  But, everyone made fishy faces and I glued the pictures to a fish for each student.  Our theme was the Dr. Seuss book "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish".  But, we were "One second grader, two second graders...21 second graders!"  I asked some students to make the signs and they came out really cute.

If your student is having a school lunch on Friday, please return the blue lunch ticket everyone took home yesterday.  If they are not having a school lunch, there isn't any need to send it back.  This is the usual lunch ticket they get every half-day week and it really helps the cafeteria staff know exactly how many lunches they need to make.
