March is finally here, which means that spring is hopefully nearby! We have quite a few birthdays this month. This week we are celebrating Ava's birthday (March 1) and also Dr. Seuss's Birthday (March 2)! Tuesday will be Read Across America Day where we will be celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday by reading his stories and learning about him. Adults and children alike enjoy Dr. Seuss stories and they bring back fond and wonderful memories from childhood to everyone! On Tuesday evening, there will be a Read Across America Family Night in the library from 6-8.
We will also begin writing to pen pals this week. The class we are corresponding with is a first grade class from Westville Elementary in Westville, IN. We will write one letter per week. I am very excited about this project and I know the children will be too!
Also beginning this week: We are excited to have a volunteer come in to teach special social studies lessons once a week through a program called Junior Achievement. Our lessons will be based on "Our Community."
Here are some things we will be learning about this week:
Language Arts:
Long i Words (i-e word families)
Identifying Problem and Solution
Asking Questions as a Comprehension Strategy
Writing a Letter
Writing about New Ideas
Math:
More Addition Practice
