It’s been so good being back with the kids! They really missed each other over their break. It sounds like the break was a great one for everybody. Whether you had a vacation away or a staycation, it seems like it was great for everybody.
This week we will be honoring Dr. Seuss with some fun reading and activities with several of his classic books. We also have some dress up days as well. Please see the schedule sheet sent home before the break.
Today, we had an awesome STEM Speaker from Brookstone Animal Hospital. She had a lot of interesting information to teach us. On Friday, we will do a special STEM Project in class as part of a STEM Tour. It will relate to our Dr. Seuss Week.
Don’t forget that the Six Flags Reading Incentive Program Sheet/ Reading Log to receive a free Six Flags Ticket is due Wednesday, February 27th.
Here’s to a great and fun-learning week!
