ASK ME ABOUT...
...what I did in P.E.
...where I went and what I did for Work Stations.
...how many months are in one year.
...how many seasons are in one year.
...our new homework assignment, "We Can Read!"
...what I learned about Martin Luther King, Jr.
WE CAN READ!
Today your child brought home a note in his/her folder explaining an ongoing homework activity we will do for the remainder of the school year. We explained this activity to the children today and they are very excited! There are common everyday labels, signs, etc. (shopping bags, food labels, etc.) that children can read. So, as your child discovers he/she can read a label, sign, etc., have him/her cut out the word and bring it in. We will have your child share the word and then add it to our classroom bulletin board, titled, "We can read!".
When shown the labels in the photo below, children were eager and excited to discover they could read them!

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
In an effort to introduce and explain Martin Luther King, Jr. and his work, we had a discussion about what fairness means. The children provided some great explanations including, "being kind to others". Next, we explained that there were some unfair laws (rules) a long time ago that MLK, Jr. helped to change. We read a story about MLK, Jr. and discussed ways that we could be fair to others at school, at home, etc.
