Dr. Seuss Day in our Classroom

Pictures from Our Class

Parents, I hope you haven't given up on me.
I finally have some pictures and short videos posted from our class.  Please pass the word to other parents you see.  I hope you all get a chance to check them out and leave a small comment... even if it's just a smiley face.  That way I will know that people are looking at our blog and it gives me incentive to keep it up!  Also, you can sign up for email notifications when I update the blog to keep you informed.

Book orders and projects due tomorrow

Ok parents, our book orders are due tomorrow, Friday, September 13th. I sure hope all of our parents will consider ordering at least one book. Remember you can order online at www.scholastic.com J7LZX is the code to use when ordering online.  I sure hope all of our parents will consider ordering at least one book. Every order helps our classes to get free books.
All About Me projects are due tomorrow also.  Our little ones are sure enjoying talking about and sharing their projects!

"All About Me" Project

For the month of September we will concentrate on "home" and "All About Me" (no, not me, but each individual student).
Below is information on the take home project for your child.   It will also count for enrichment hours for our parents.
Each child will create a small poster (provided by us) with items, drawings and/or pictures that show your child's interests and family members.  We want you to help your child but, please allow your child to do the work.
Some examples of what we will be looking for would be:

•  favorite color (you could use a ribbon or just use a crayon)
• favorite food (a picture from a magazine or food wrapper)
• they can write their name
• draw pictures of siblings or snapshots can be glued or taped
• favorite toy and/or tv show
• draw pictures or cut magazine pictures of things they like to do
• pictures of their pets and names of their pets
• they can write how old they are and/or when their birthday is

All pictures can be drawn if magazine pictures are not available.  If you attach photos please make sure you have copies in case they get torn or lost, as we will create a class book from the projects to be used in our reading center for most of the year.
Project is due September 21st.
We expect child created writing and work with parent assistance.
If you have any questions, please let me know or comment below and I'll reply back.  Comment more ideas to add to the project if you'd like.  It's all about your child!
Thanks!

Scholastic Book Orders

 If you choose to place a Scholastic book order online use this code, J7LZX.  Click here for the website.  Navigate to the Firefly catalog, although you can order from any of the catalogs.  we will still get credit for our class.  Of course, you don't have to order online. You can bring your order to the classroom and we'll place the order.  Send your order in by this Friday, September 13th.
I hope you will consider ordering one book.  The more books ordered equals free books for our class!
Thanks, parents.  Have a great week!
