This Week - Mo Willems
This week we are going to make sure the Pigeon doesn't drive the bus, that Elephant and Piggie surprise each other, and that Knuffle Bunny gets found at the laundromat. We will be reading A LOT of Mo Willems books and doing some super fun art projects. Can't wait for you to see them!
Last Week
We ate Green Eggs and Ham, made some 1 Fish - 2 Fish, and made our own "Thinks" last week. Most of the kids really enjoyed the green eggs, and giggled quite a bit while we read a variety of Dr. Seuss books. Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss.
Reading Groups Start This Week
I am so excited to begin reading groups with the kids. Each group will meet once per week, and all the students will have a packet to bring home with a book to read with you, as well as a worksheet, and sometimes a learning game will be included. Please have your child bring the packet back with them the next day they come to school, so we have time to prepare the materials for our next week. Thank you!

Word Wall - Letter T
This week we will be focusing on the letter T for top, ten, and tickle. Please help your child find something that begins with the letter if they would like to bring in something for sharing. Thanks!

Pancake Breakfast and Art Show
Mark your calendars for our pancake breakfast and art show on March 21st. We will be displaying art from every classroom and serving up a yummyFREE breakfast to say "Thank you" and "We love you" to our families. Hope to see you all there!
