It's hard to believe that March is already here! This year is just flying by because we've been having so much fun! March 1st was our Reading Month Kick-off. We have many special activities planned for the children. Here are a few highlights from last week:
We made an adorable leprechaun project and wrote about what we would do if we found a pot of gold.
We also worked on our Very Hungry Caterpillar bulletin board display for Reading Month. Each child created one circle for the body of the caterpillar and made a mini-book about their favorite book.
Our first guest reader was The Cat in the Hat (Ms. Batko, our Assistant Principal).
Snuggle up and read day was a big hit with the class! They love reading by flashlight and sharing books with their friends.
It's my tradition during reading month to mix up some Oobleck and to read Dr. Seuss' story, Bartholemew and the Oobleck. Oobleck is neat because it acts like both a solid and a liquid. Ms. Emily brought a bag of it around for the students to investigate. Ms. Emily was a student in my first grade class at Cheyenne. Now she is having fun with projects and concoctions again just like old times:) Lucky Emily got to dig in and mix the Oobleck!
We will keep the Oobleck in the baggie and play with it during choice time.
