Last week in February!

Yay! We have just started clubs at Sterling. Our class has the pleasure of Mrs. Serkin coming in each friday to teach our club to our class. She is doing a "book and cook" club for our class. It is going to be awesome! A great way to extend a book and really dive into comprehension. She is aware of food allergies, so do not be alarmed.

Please bring in your box tops and any kind of plastic bags! We are working with Harris Teeter at a chance to win $1,000 for our school... just by bringing in a plastic bag! Lets work together and do this :)

Words this week: any, from, water, annoy, voice, because

Looking ahead:

DR. SEUSS WEEK! (please look for a red sheet about parent readers coming in to help read and celebrate Dr. Seuss!)

A few new things!

The kids have probably told you that I have moved their desks around quite a bit! - I have :)... I like a little change every now and again! I have added  an important part to the kids "GO book." It is a sleeve with a poem of the week in it. It will always be double sided to save paper, but the focus is only one per week. This weeks poem of the week is "One Hundred." They are to read it aloud 5 times each night along with their nightly homework. This will help them a lot to build their fluency and express emotion as they read. Friday is optional recite day. They may choose to memorize the poem and sit in my lighthouse chair to recite to the class. This is their chance to really shine!
