Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today!

We are celebrating Audylynn’s birthday. Tomorrow she invited us to Tiger Bounce. (Ismael)

We did math. We learned about 3D shapes. You can hold them and they are not flat like the 2D shapes. They were sphere, rectangular prism, pyramid, cube, cylinder, and cone. We had to put our shape in the right pile. (Maclyn)

We did writing. We wrote about our lives. We wrote about things we do before school, after school, and bedtime. (Isaac)

We did Daily 5. It was a short Daily 5. (Blake)

We did music. We played a game where you have to know the month you were born in. (Dempsey)

We did the calendar. (Britt)

We are doing closing meeting and snack. (Xander)

We did Fundations. We learned the capitals C and D. We wrote them on our whiteboards. (Madelynn)

We did read aloud. We watched a video about American symbols. They were the bald eagle, Statue of Liberty, the American flag, and the Liberty Bell. (Brooklynn and Carmel Grace)

We also talked about the White House and Mount Rushmore. (Demspey and Wilson)

The blue bird is a Missouri symbol. We talked about the Missouri flag. (Wilson and Ismael)

Abraham Lincoln is on the 5 dollar bill and he has a statue. He died. (Ismael and AJ)

The Arch is big! (Landon)

In the folder you will find an optional American symbols worksheet and a March lunch menu!

Reading bags are coming home today as well. Please make sure these are returned on Monday! I had several bags not make it back this week! Sadly, with the crazy week, the students did not get new books. We had too many other things planned and Daily 5 had to be shortened each day. I ask the student to pick out their own books from their book boxes to bring home each week so hopefully they are bringing home different books each time!

Next Friday, March 2nd we will be doing a Dr. Seuss celebration. If you have a favorite Dr. Seuss book (Green Eggs and Ham is taken) and you would like to be a guest reader, please reply to this email! We will have guest readers scheduled throughout the day so I can be flexible with time of day.

Have a great weekend!
