The kids are enjoying our QR Codes for Dr. Seuss books. They wanted me to email you the link because they would really like a copy for home if you are able to print. If you can't print, and your child would like a copy, please let me know and I'll print it from here. Thanks!! https://docs.google.com/document/d/18g4dvA0tOZudbbu50c3EtrUupcGmGkPqIvUwJtOYErs/edit?usp=sharing

We are almost out of pencils, please send in 24 sharpened pencils with your child by Monday of next week. Thanks!

Just a little bit about what is going on in class: Reading-Our CAFE goal this week is "fluency-I can read smoothly," last week we learned how to infer the meaning of characters and what is going on in the story. Ask your child to show you how he/she can prove that they know how to use those skills. Writing-We are busy studying, critiquing and writing reviews on Dr. Seuss books . Math-Fractions, fractions and more fractions. Content-We have just finished studying about the rivers in Alabama, Native American tribes, The Trail of Tears and The Creek War. We are now learning about a sad and difficult time in our state called slavery and soon we will begin studying the Civil War. Ask your child to show you their person and project for Black History Month. Some of us even did a Facebook page for our person. Soon we will be choosing another famous person from Alabama to do a REALLY big project on. We will also create a journal for this person and have a Wax Museum! More information will be coming home soon.

A message from Susan Norris:

Hey guys!  I have attached a 1 minute video for a summer 2 week program called MoTowne Productions. My son, Timothy, has participated in MoTowne for 5 years now....and HE LOVES IT! MoTowne involves students grades 3 - 12 - all over the Birmingham area!  

This program is similar to Summer Show Offs, however it is an auditioned group.  Auditions are coming up in March.  

Thank you!
Susan Norris
