I apologize for the lack of blue folders last Friday. I had all the work corrected, but I ran out of time to get the work in the folders. That work will go home this Friday with this week's work.
This week we are going out of our reading books and doing a short unit on Dr. Seuss! Dr. Seuss's birthday is Friday, March 2nd. This year he would be 108 years old! We started off the week by reading
Fox in Socks and finding rhyming words. We made lists of rhyming words and are using those to write poems. Another book we've read is
Hooray for Diffendoofer Day! This book was started by Dr. Seuss, then finished by Jack Prelutsky and Lane Smith after he passed away. The pictures are wonderful mixes of Dr. Seuss's own illustrations and Lane Smith's wonderful paintings. In the same style, we are cutting out pictures from magazines and drawing pictures around them. They look wonderful!
We are running low on dry erase markers. The ones I use on the board last me about half a year, since I use many different colors on the board. The students each have one in their desks, though, for use each day, and those run dry faster. We could use about twelve more dry erase markers to get us through the year. If anyone can do that, please let me know.
