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!

Fond Memories of Special Visitors.......
Kelly comes back to Underhill to visit old friends...Old friends are golden! She spends the afternoon with Niece Arianna, the Rascals, Mrs. Pearl and Mrs. Rich.  |
| Do you remember, Veteran Families? Six years ago Miss Kelly Conomacos was my intern for the entire year. Then she taught kindergarten at Underhill for one year and was promoted to teach first grade the following year. Some of your children have had her as their teacher. Oh, the fun we had! She decided to move to California for the love of warmer weather. Speaking of love...She's engaged to the man of her dreams, Josh. See him among the Rascals. Though they met in California, he was born and raised in Vermont. My dream is that some day (in the near future) they make their home New Hampshire. |
Guest Readers from Cawley visit our morning
class. We were mesmerized by the stories they
read to us. The Rascals are ready for a return
visit!!!
Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) students, Jenna, Kelly, Evelyn and Alysia work in our morning class. They play "Oh, Rats" and other games to help us become better readers.
They help us with puzzles to foster growth in fine motor skills, spatial awareness and math skills.
we weekly visits!
Adventures with Ted E. Jr.
Makenzie celebrated her 6th birthday on February 13.
Of course, Ted E. Jr. got all decked out for the party at Chuckey Cheese! Makenzie's journal page tells a beautiful story of Ted E. and the Birthday Girl !!!!
Tea Party time for Ted E and Samantha!
Samantha set the table with the prettiest
table cloth and fancy china. Next time you
have a tea party will you invite Mrs. Pearl
and me?
What a special day for you and Ted E, Blake!
I think this was Ted E's first trip to the Book
Store. Thank you so much for getting a book
for our class library. You know it's one we
love, love, love!
