Hello parents!

First, I would love to thank you all for making me feel appreciated and loved during Teacher Appreciation MONTH!  You and the kids made me feel special every day!   I love your kids and appreciate every day I get to work with them.  They inspire me and teach me so much.  I hope they feel a similar feeling from me.  You are raising fabulous kids!

**This week is Dr. Seuss week.  Each day students will get to do something special.  Tomorrow students can wear their favorite hats to school.  Wednesday students wear something red and blue.  Thursday students wear a crazy or mismatched pair of socks.  Friday Students wear a cozy pair of pajamas!  Our class will visit the Book Fair on Thursday from 8:00-8:30.  Feel free to join your child during this time.  They will also have the option of shopping Friday.  We will have Monday’s scheduled menu (green eggs & ham) on Tuesday 03-03-15 at lunch.

**SSC Literacy Night is tomorrow night, March 3^rd from 6:00-8:00.  We will have lots of fun activities hosted by our teachers and faculty like making Dr. Seuss hats, making book marks, and playing computer games.  We might even have a visit from a book character.  Our book fair will be open during literacy night.  We will also have a few games in the book fair like guess the number of fish and our famous Sucker pull.

 **Our Alabama History scrapbooks are to be completed no later than March 9^th (next Tuesday).  Some have asked about the Wax Museum.  This is an entirely different project.  The date has not been confirmed, however it will be sometime after Spring Break, and after testing, which will be sometime in April.  We have worked on the speeches in class.  In the meantime, if you would like to work on finding costumes that look something like your famous Alabamian would wear that would be wonderful!  More information will come later regarding the details of the wax museum.

**Thank you for encouraging your child to read every night!  I am really noticing significant improvements in their comprehension and fluency levels.  Most importantly I am seeing a love for reading increase!!

**Thank you to all who are helping with classroom needs!  Speaking of this, we are totally out of pencils. Next time you are out, please pick up 2 12 packs of sharpened pencils! Thanks so much!
