Remember that Flat Stanleys are due March 1st. Please send in the pictures as you get them! We're having so much fun seeing all of Flat Stanleys adventures!
Our Read-In for Dr. Seuss' birthday is next Friday, March 4th from 12:00-12:30. Students can invite a guest to come to the classroom and read with them. You can bring books of your own or they can read our classroom books.
In order to encourage neatness, I am now picking a star paper each day. Students should be coloring and writing neatly (letters/numbers formed top to bottom) by this point in kindergarten. Please encourage this at home too!
