We say good-bye to Mrs. Dorsey who so generously gave of her time to assist in working with our reading program. I honored Mrs. Dorsey's request to "not make a big deal" of her leaving, although we did make a huge card for her! Next week we will welcome Ms. Johnson back to kindergarten! She has completed her student teaching in 1st grade and her subbing in 2nd grade for Mrs. Sorg. Now she will be with us for the remainder of the year!
And now we concentrate on /r/. In science we will make rainbows,even one in a glass vace (it is actually a lesson on liquid densities); we will perform a rust experiment, make raisins dance, and set off a balloon rocket. We will write a rainbow! Come see it on the wall, then it will make sense! Rhyming and writing restaurant menus will be further writing activities-apart from our daily reading and writing.
I will also be sending a new scribing schedule this week that will take us to the end of the year. My, how time flies when you are having fun!!
