Week of March 3rd
Paddy Day Parade
Monday March 17th, we will be releasing early for the annual Paddy Hough Parade. Our students will get the opportunity to walk with us (and their parents) in the parade. Please join us even if you don't attend school that day. We can wear our class shirts, if you can find them! We will release at 11:30 that day to give us time to meet up in front of Hough Elementary School. I will be asking parents this week what they want done for snack that day. We could bring our own snack lunches and eat them at school, save them for the parade route, or do a lunch cooking project that day that would fill us up for the afternoon!
Donations Needed
We are currently seeking donations for the Auction. We are in need of items for both Silent and Live Auction. If you have anything you would like to donate or know someone with a business who would like to donate items or service we would love to accept them. We would also be very happy to provide a receipt for tax purposes. Thanks for your support.

You mush sign up and pay when you purchase your Auction tickets and childcare payment is non-refundable.
Parents Welcome
Dr Seuss is known for bring out the love of literacy, so if any parents want to come in and read to the children in small groups while we work on projects, you are more then welcome. You can bring in your own books, or use some Dr Seuss books in our class. This time will not count toward any volunteer time, but the Star Class loves to hear stories and if you have the time and enjoy reading just let us know what days work best for you this week.
This week
This week we will be celebrating with Dr Suess. There are so many fun activities that Dr Suess can lead up to, we may have overplanned but what we don't get to we can try for next week! Monday and Tuesday, we will be enjoying Green Eggs and Ham. We will also be making Gertrude McFuzz birds, and working with shadows and the shapes of the star class and other stuff, with the help of the Shape of me and other things by Dr. Seuss. We are going to be looking at some of my favorite Dr. Seuss books...one fish, two fish and the Foot book. We will be exploring math ideas with fish while we sort, match and create fish patterns, as well as play a math fish game. We will also try to get to our the Lorax.
Word Wall
This week we will be introducing the letter C for Cat and Cute. Please have your child bring in items that start with the letter and put them in the pelican so we can share them at the end of the day.
