We had a great time last week getting into the "Irish Spirit"! First off, we were visited by "Lucky the Leprechaun"! He magically changed cups that we had decorated into Small Leprechaun hats! He also left us an activity to do, and a few pieces of "gold" [candy that is!] We read about Leprechauns, and wrote about how to catch one, and what we would do with one if we DID catch one...............wonderful ideas were hatched by my smarties! We did measuring activities using shamrocks, and also graphed our Lucky Charms. Our data told us that the 'shooting stars' were the shape most used in the cereal! All in all, a very busy, fun, day integrating learning into our celebration! Look for pictures to be posted soon............
Next week we will begin having our official Spelling Tests. These will be every Friday, unless notified. We will work with these words all week in class, but your child will also be expected to practice them at home. I will be sending home a "Tic-Tac-Toe" for Spelling words that has some great practice ideas!
Hopefully everyone has been practicing their math facts at home as well. We practice them daily during our Math Workshop time, but practice at home is also essential.
Thanks so much for all that you do at home with your child........it helps SO much!
Please check back soon for more updates and photos!!
