Estes Extras...

We were ObSEUSSed this week! :) We had a great time reading and talking all about Dr. Seuss. We had a very exciting week overall. I'm sure you have heard all about Mrs. Porter's quail eggs. We had 1 that hatched. Our class does a lot with Mrs. Porter's class. We have loved watching these quail eggs rotate in the incubator for 17 days and finally 1 has hatched! The quail baby is so cute. I took pictures of it.

Specials for next week are: Monday: Media, Tuesday: Music, Wednesday: P.E., Thursday: Spanish, Friday: Art. LIBRARY BOOK ARE DUE MONDAY!!!

So check out this blog! I have really been working on making it nice for y'all. Please take the time to look around it. I will keep adding things to it.

We are excited to have Paris join our class! She will fit in just great!

Academic Update:

Literacy: Dr. Seuss is all we did this week and rhyming galore. We had lots of students read to the class Dr. Seuss books. Dr. Seuss books are a great way to help with reading sight words. We are starting a new unit about the farm.

Math: We completed our chapter on Calendar this week. We will be beginning a new chapter on Monday.

Science: Beginning started talking about plants. I bought a planter and I put soil and we planted seeds in it. We tied it in with the Dr. Seuss book Oh Say Can You Seed. The pictures are cute! Can't wait to watch our flowers grow!

The language that is coming into the classroom that is being heard from the tv/radio/video games is starting to be not kid friendly. Things like "What the...", "booty", "sucks".. etc is not appropriate classroom talk. Please continue to talk to your child about appropriate classroom talk. That is very much appreciated. :)

Have a great weekend. Try to stay dry from all the rain that is coming our way!
