En voyage

Well February has come and gone. Iam looking forward to March. Hopefully it will be easier on us and have very little snow!!

A new month means a new theme!  This months theme is called En Voyage, which is very fitting because March break will be here before we know it.We will however continue to work on last months theme(home), seeing that we miss a lot of days. Students will be exploring the different methods of travel (bus,car,plane,boat,train) as well as the different places they can travel to. I have made a request to some of my friends from around the world to send our class post cards. This way students can be exposed to different places around the world and we can have small discussions on how one might get to that destination.(method of transportation) If you have any family or friends around the world, feel free to have them write the class. They may send their postcard addressed to me at the school. Also, seeing that our theme is travel, we will do a little project about our March breaks. I will give you more details later on. So keep your eyes open for that.


I have sent home the notes about our science project. The students are very excited about this. I will be having some small experiments in class through out this month to further their understanding of the 5 senses. The students have also asked to have science centers. This is something that I will look into and if possible will have once a sequel.

We are just about done of our math unit on addition and subtraction up to 12. I encourage you to make flash cards at home and work on these problems with your child. Once we wrap this unit up, we will moving onto measurements. I know that the students will enjoy this unit, seeing that there are a lot of hands on activities. We have also added math centers to our daily schedule. The students are really enjoying this and it is also a great way to reinforce what they have already learned.

As a class they have come along way in reading. I'm so very proud of each and everyone of them.We are starting to predict what might happen in our books before reading them. Also we are paying more attention to punctuation and reading with expression. We will continue to work on reading strategies. Keep up the fabulous work guys!!

Parent teacher interviews are coming up. I will be sending home times sometime this week. Please let me know what works and what does not so I can make arrangements if need be. I look forward to seeing you all next week, until then I hope you all have a great week.
Keep smiling
