Dr. Seuss and Rhyming

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! 

We had our school wide beach day celebration during our lunch time this week for filling our big shield in the commons area. Thank you to all the family and friends who joined us for this event. 

Next week our theme will be zoo animals and we will focus on the letter Zz and the number 5.
