Week 28

 Week 28: March 18-22

Mystery Readers

To celebrate March is Reading Month, please consider joining us as a MYSTERY READER. Shhhh…..! Don’t tell your Firstie! Sign up here for your slot to read!

Pajama Party

Reminder: our program is at 5pm on Wednesday, March 27. Please be sure your Firstie is practicing their lines. We find that most students need to be encouraged to speak more slowly than normal in order to be understood by the audience.

Animal Project

We have been working on researching and studying animals in class. Please ask your Firstie all about this. They should be able to tell you their animal’s name, details about its appearance, habitat, and family. It has been a bit tricky in some cases to find out if certain animals live in groups, what babies are called, how long they live with their mothers (if at all), and so forth. We would love for you to discuss this with your Firstie and maybe do some reading together at home. In class we will be writing an informational report.  As a way to demonstrate their learning, we ask each student to create a project at home.  

*Projects are due Monday, April 15. 

Please select one of the following to make together with your Firstie:

• Diorama

• Model

• Poster

Projects should:

• Include accurate details

• Show effort

• Demonstrate understanding of the animal and habitat 

Please use whatever materials you would like.  If supplies are an issue, please let your child’s teacher know and we will provide materials to create a poster.  Completed projects will be on display at school for about a week before being returned home.
