Week of March 4

Sorry for not getting the newsletter and blog out this week!  The week has been crazy with TCAP testing, and it threw me off :)  I will do better!  I promise ;)

This week we are learning about lots of fun new things.  We started learning about Europe, Pets, and Dr. Seuss.  We are reading all the fun Dr. Seuss books and talking about rhyming words.  We are also learning all about shapes and geometry, playing games with all the different shapes.

I will be out of the classroom Thursday and Friday, helping with the TCAP testing in the middle school.  I do have a substitute in there, and will be popping in as I can.

Thanks for your patience!
