Our theme this week was St. Patrick's Day. The students in other rooms had set traps, but no luck in catching a leprechaun. We did have a visit from one who was in search of gold but we tricked him with our art projects and he gave us "leprechaun gold". We also focused on the letter Qq and reviewed the number 6.
For the next two weeks our theme will be Easter and spring. We will be focusing on the letter Ee and reviewing the number 7.

This week was all about Dr. Seuss and the silly stories and characters that he has made. We read several stories of his and made Cat in the Hat faces and Thing 1 and Thing 2. We continued to work on our rhyming skills by making a class book and playing rhyming games. We also focused on the letter Rr and reviewed the number 4.
A special thank you to Mr. Joe, our director of Student Services and Special Education, for coming to read to us again this month. The kids loved his silly voices for the characters in the story Cat in the Hat, especially the fish!
