Rainy School Day

We enjoyed a fun rainy day at school. We had PE in the morning and went out for a little bit after lunch and for afternoon recess. We had so much fun starting our new unit in reading called "Putting IT Together" and did some short vowel review. We will make a graph of the short vowel show and tells this week.

We are working on all sorts of adding problems and tomorrow well vary it a little adding pennies rather than butterflies in today's lesson! We are going through the addition chapter pretty fast, but the children seem to understand putting together, joining groups, adding and even using the plus sign to say 2 plus 4 equals 6. Many of them even caught a mistake Mrs. Clapper made today. No one laughed at me, but they very courteously pointed out my error!

We enjoyed celebrating Emma's birthday with ice cream sandwiches for treats this afternoon!

We also got into our new purple Skills Buddy books this afternoon so that tomorrow morning, we can do a birthday cake card for Ella tomorrow morning. Ella's grandmother made treats for Ella to share with the class!

Thank you for the two response forms I already received regarding the Farm lunch either being ordered or brought from home. I only need 17 more to make sure everyone is accounted for! I sure hope we get all this rain out of the way before next week. It would be too difficult to take 100 students to a muddy, wet farmyard. We will keep you posted. If we get rained out, we will still do the sack lunches and home lunches and have a fun picnic in the room during lunch time! It won't be the same as going to the farm, but we'll make the best of plans that get changed.

A new notice was added to your child's mailbox today regarding the Spring BBQ, so if you are planning to attend please return the blue form also!

Have a nice evening. I love to read when it's raining and we have a fun story called Building with Dad tomorrow.
Sincerely, Carol Clapper
