Reader's Workshop:

We are studying poetry and learning about they different styles. We are having conversations about what the author is trying to tell us through his/her descriptive words.

Writer's Workshop:

We are learning how to write different types of poems. We are communicating our thoughts through the use of descriptive language and the use of similies.

Math Workshop:

We are reviewing strategies that we have learned to help us add and subtract numbers up to 20 so that we can broaden our number sense and strengthen our skills.

The students really enjoyed the ART REACH program. They learned a lot about blending colors and shading, and ended up creating a wonderful mural with chalk.

Open House is coming soon! I look forward to seeing all of you on this night. We have so many new projects that we have done and can't wait for you to see. This is a great time to celebrate all of the student's accomplishments. It is amazing to think that this year is already coming to an end, but everyone has worked hard and grown tremendously.

Please be sure to look at all the contents of your child's Tuesday envelope. It has important information. It is also much appreciated if you could return any forms that need to be filled out in a timely manner. Thank you!

Please remember to sign a contract if your child will be gone on vacation. It is important that you contact the office well before your trip so that I have time to get the work together. It does take time for me to prepare. I really appreciate your constant communication. Please know that I welcome any questions or concerns. You can contact me through my email at dee11177@hotmail.com

Thank you Brooke for taking on the responsibility of being our room mom. It's a huge job and I am so thankful for all of your help. Thank you parents for donating so much towards helping us get our auction items together. A special thanks to Carolyn Young for organizng the art auction project. Bird Rock is such a special place because we have wonderful families!

Please come by and check out the amazing artwork by our students. They have made ladybugs and have also designed their own flip flops! You can also come by and look at the wonderful mural the students created when the ART REACH people came to work with us.
