Happy Sunday everyone. I can't believe it is March! I hope everyone had a wonderful vacation. We just got back from vacation in Florida. We drove straight through to get home and did it in 19 hours. The weather was chilly, but sunny. High 60's during the day and 40's at night. It was still nice to get sun by the pool. No traffic when you drive straight through at night. It is good to be home. I can't wait to hear about all the vacation adventures.
This week we will be in Wonders reading,Unit 4-week 2. The focus is on realistic fiction. Please remember to have the kids take reading counts tests at home. Mrs. Howe has a deal going on with us for a challenge. Our read aloud is "Danny, Champion of the World". The kids are loving it. In math, we will continue with fractions and our multiplication facts. Some of us are flying through the times tables. It is now time for our Presidential Unit. Some of the kids know who they want to be for a president and we will talk about that this week. We will research all of the presidents for the next two months and then we will have a Presidential Reception for parents and families. The kids will make a speech as their president and dress as their president. After the speeches, we will share favorite presidential foods, punch and cake. As soon as I get a date I will post it for all of you. It will probably be towards the end of April. This is an awesome unit and the kids will actually be taking a trip through History. They will learn so much, you will be amazed! We will study each president, their wives, and their contributions to history. Remember , I may have a future president in the classroom. I can think of a few!! Only 20 days until spring and don't forget to spring ahead next Sunday with the clocks. Have a great week everybody! Comments are closed.

I Believe...Let the kids be kids. Every child has a strength. It is up to the teacher to find it or tap it so they can work to their highest potential. I tend to set the bar very high. Lifetime memories should be made in the classroom and at school. NBCS should be a place where kids enter happy and go home with a smile on their face. I want my kids getting up in the morning begging to go to school! Archives
