March 9-13

Hello Families,
Sorry I was out most of the week.  I got really sick with fever and bad cough.  I am going to be asking students to wash hands often to try and keep everyone well until the end of the year.  I heard we have one case in Santa Cruz County with the coronavirus.  We will need to make sure everyone who is sick stays home until they are better.  I know we have the attendance competition but right now with the different illnesses, I would rather we stay safe and stay home if there is a bad cough, fever, vomiting, etc.  It is 24 hours of no fever or vomit before they can return. 

Wow, it is March and it is almost spring!  This week, we will be talking about the weather and different types of clouds.  We have many books and poems that we will be reading. 

In Writer's workshop, we will celebrate this week and  will be starting our new unit on opinion writing.  They turn out very cute because we ask them to write about if they have opinions on what we could change at school.  One year, our students helped get the track in the upper playground get fixed because so many wrote about it. 

In Reader's workshop, students will be introduced to being a "super reader. " Students will be show their powers by looking around the room and other places to identify familiar words.  Then, they will use pointer power to point to words as they read.  

word wall words: little, girl  

In math students will be identifying solid and flat shapes.  We will identify and compare shapes using vocabulary words like face, sides, corners etc.  Students will be making different sizes of shapes.  We will also continue to add and subtract with word problems.


Reminders:
Talent Show coming up
Report Cards go home on March 20
Spring break is the week of March 27

Thank you and have a great week!
Mrs. Sandman
