PARENTS please remember to pack a lunch for your child on Wednesday, March 14th!  We will be returning around 1:00 and will not get back in time to have lunch here.  If you have any problems, please do not hesitate to call!

Thanks!

Cendrillion

We are reading the Houghton Mifflin series book and are on the story of Cendrillion.  This is a folktale from Martinique and is compared to the story of Cinderella.  We've been doing Venn diagrams comparing the stories and will start an activity where the students will create a Wedding Announcement for Paul and Cendrillion in the story.  I've attached the outline of what I want!  Take a look and please let me know if you have any questions!

Friendship Cinquain Poems

We did a little interview activity during my first week and created these friendship cinquain poems! Each student had to interview one of their fellow classmates and get to know some of their likes and dislikes!  The kids loved these and they were very creative ;)
Check them out below!

Thank you to Laura Candler for this great idea!

Truffala Trees and Read Across America Day

Read Across America Day was March 2nd, but the month of March is Reading month!  We will be doing a lot of reading activities, but here are some of the activities we did that day!  We particpated in a Reading Marathon, made truffula trees from Dr. Seuss's, The Lorax, and read a bunch of Dr. Seuss books!  Take a look at some of our creations that day!

I created these posters to hang in the classroom! I love all of these Dr. Seuss Quotes!
