Newsletter ~ March 7


Welcome Back, Rascal Families!




 Hope you and the Rascals had a “FUN”tastic vacation!  Learning about Dr. Seuss has motivated us to “march” right back into the school setting.  “Seuss”y activities will dominate throughout the month. Ask us what we’ve been doing during workshop!  Look at the website www.seussville.com for great resources and games.

Math interest is at an all-time peak!!!!. The focus has been on 2 and 3-D shapes. Our goal is to be able to name and describe the following:  square, circle, triangle, rectangle, hexagon, cube, cone, cylinder and sphere.  Be on the look-out for the shape papers.
Click on the arrow below to watch the YouTube we’ve fallen in love with:  3-D Shapes I know!




Help your child pack a snack on Monday that is one of the shapes we’ve been studying.  Mrs. Pearl and I are going to play “Name That Shape”.  Be ready to challenge us!!!!! 
 
More adventures are in store for us next week.   Do you believe we are on Unit 7 of the Imagine It! Reading Program.  The theme for this unit is Teamwork.  I can say with pride, the Rascals are one great team!  



They have honed their social skills, developed perseverance and have learned the importance of working together.  Take a peek at our inquiry bulletin board.  Ask us what we wrote on our helping arm/hand.



Letter names/sounds in the March plans are short Ee (hen), Qq and Yy. Add two new sight words to your growing list: her, what

March and April are roaring with exciting happenings…..Dr. Seuss activities, budding authors, amazing readers, award winning class books, report cards and the little GREEN THING!  


Rumor has it that the little green thing will visit Rich’s Rascals on Friday, March 15th.   McRich and McPearl are ready for the green thing.  The students are, too!  Of course, everyone knows to wear green on Friday, the 15th of March!  What a whimsical month it will be!


 March Madness!
