Hello Families! We have had a fun week celebrating Dr. Seuss with the themed days- red/blue day, hat day. crazy sock day and green day. Here's a picture Mrs. Schwarz took of our class on Red/Blue day. 

Animal Research Reports: A half sheet of white paper was sent home today requesting help from home to find pictures of your child's animal for their animal report. If you cannot find photos or are unable to print from a computer, I can help your child find some at school. Please send in the pictures by Friday March 14. Thank you for your help.

Nonfiction Celebration: Families are welcome to join us in the classroom for our Nonfiction Writing Celebration on Friday, March 21 at 2:30pm. The kids will be sharing their animal reports, True/False books, Question and Answer books, Community Worker slideshows and a "Bet Your Didn't Know" magazine article. 

Author Visit: On March 26, author (poet) Douglas Florian will visit our school. You will receive information about a pre-sale of his books. Any purchased books will be signed by the author.

Math Rotations: Our next unit is Fractions. As a second grade, we are going to share kids among the three teachers. So your child may go to Mrs. Petersen's or Mrs. Shinners' classroom for this unit. We are excited to use a new strategy to personalize learning. 

Ask Your Child:

Why is the book called The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane?

Did Edward change in the story? Why or why not?

How do you know whether it is AM or PM?

What is the name of your Book Series Club?
