Monday, March 14 will be a Day 2 and our class will have Art with Ms. Pasco.
This week we will learn the consonant Xx as in fox and x-ray. there will be NO show 'n tell (thank goodness!). However, the children will go on a treasure hunt around the school to find the spots marked with an X.
In Reading we will read "One Little Mouse" by Dori Chaconas. We will introduce consonant blends and review the comprehension skill, sequence. This is a rhyming book about animals and their adventures.
Speaking of reading, if your child read the newspaper 5x last week, you can send in the "I'm A Reader" contract. Then, at the end of the year, your child receives a certificate and his/her name is in the newspaper (Pottsville Republican). If you misplaced your contract, I have a few here at school, contact me and I will send one home in your child's folder.
In Math we will make an ABC pattern using pattern blocks (we did not do all 5 lessons last week, due to the 2-hour delay on Monday, but we did do math on Friday). We will act out "Some, Some More" and "Some, Some Went Away" stories (we will use pattern blocks and teddy bear counters). We will estimate and measure the capacity of containers using nonstandard units and compare and order containers by capacity; plus, we will write numerals through 20 to label the sets. After that, we will solve a problem by guessing and checking. Children will also be assessed on making and reading a graph (which they will make out of pattern blocks).
Of course it is St. Patrick's Day on Thursday, March 17th. We will celebrate in a small way with some stories, songs and trinkets. Please try to remember to wear green!
Next week, beginning on Tuesday, the older students in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grades will be taking their PSSA tests. Please remind your child that it is very important to be quiet in the school on those days. Finally, on Saturday, March 12th, please remember to turn your clocks ahead one hour for daylight savings time. Our class is counting down the days until spring. Now, if only the weather would get more spring-like! Have a good week!
