Nursery Rhymes

This week our theme was Nursery Rhymes. We have read several different ones trying to find the words that rhyme with each other. We also worked on making up nonsense rhyming words to strengthen our concept of similar endings of words. We also focused on the letter Nn and reviewed the number 3. 

Spring Parent/Teacher Conferences are on Thurs. the 3rd from 3:45-6:30. Please remember these are only for those requested by the teacher or parent. If I did not request a conference with you then we have either already discussed the concerns in a recent meeting or I do not have any concerns at this point and your student is on track for the remainder of the school year and we do not need to have a formal meeting scheduled. I am willing to meet outside of this day if needed or we can do email exchanges or phone conferences. If you have scheduled a meeting with me that I did not request and would rather change to just emailing/phone call about any concerns you have please let me know. 

Next week we will be talking all about Dr. Seuss! This is a fun week with Cat in the Hat projects and lots of silly stories. We will also be focusing on the letter Rr and reviewing the number 4. 

***The Simek Library in Medford is hosting a special celebration for Dr. Seuss' birthday on Tuesday, March 1st from 6:30-7:30. There will be a readings from local children's heroes (a fireman, policeman, financial advisor, and doctor), songs, and a special treat with the Cat in the Hat.
