In like a Lion, Out like a ?

March has gone so quickly, but we have done so much these last couple of weeks.  We started out the month by predicting whether March would come in like a lion (fierce) or a lamb (nice).  The class was evenly split on our predictions and the students who guessed lion were correct for March 1.  We have kept track of each day this month and so far have had more “lamb” days than “lion.”  We are very grateful for such beautiful days, however we come inside very wet from all the melting snow.

We also took time to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday and read as many of his books as we could.  We made a Dr. Seuss hat and watched two movies that narrated his books.  We also tried green eggs.  Some of us were a little afraid to try something new, but everyone that tried them, loved them!

We also spent the last week learning about the alphabet.  We have read many alphabet books, and did an alphabet search of things around our room that start with those letters.  We were also able to name an animal for each letter of the alphabet.  Our final task was to create each letter with our bodies.  I took pictures and we made a class book.

This next week, we will be focusing on numbers and counting.  We will work on writing our numbers and counting as high as we can.  We have lots of number games we get to play.  The next couple weeks, we will be learning more about farms and farm animals and then spring.

Later Days!
