Dear Irish friend,
Will you please join me in celebrating St. Patrick's Day? We will be wearing green and dining on Irish food like corned beef, cabbage, and soda bread. There will be folk dancing to beautiful melodies played on the bagpipes. Hopefully, we won't experience a visit from a mischievous leprechaun, but we will find his pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. may this four leafed clover bring you a year of good fortune!
Sincerely,
Blarney Stone.
In math, we are starting to learn about geometric shapes. Please be looking for examples of cones, cylinders, cubes, rectangular prisms, spheres, etc. around your home.
Our reading unit is "Communities". We are talking about how communities change over time and serve various purposes. We are discussing how we all belong to several difficult sub-communities. This week's story is "House On Maple Street". Please check to make sure your child has completed their 5 non-fiction stories book notes. They are due Tuesday. Students will be completing posters in class this week to present to their classmates.
Don't forget that Friday is no school. Teachers are in professional trainings focused on reading.
Thursday night is Lincoln Elementary's reading night. Please join us from 6:30-7:30 for many reading activities.
