In addition to singing there was an old lady who swallowed fly on what seems like repeat, we created magic water bottles today. We used crayon shavings, glitter, and well, water in bottles. It's a great calming thing to help friends when they get upset. I'll let you know if they actually work.
Doctor Seuss next week. Here's what is going on:
OHS Readers come dressed Seussically and ready to read to our students from 10:30 – 10:50. Classes will be combining so that everyone can participate. Teachers grouped with a single teacher can decide which classroom to meet in. Teachers grouped in threes will be assigned a location. Schedule is attached.
Tuesday – For D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything and Read), students will carry a book with them throughout the day and at the sound of the secret code, they will stop what they are doing to read a book. The code will be revealed as part of the morning announcements. D.E.A.R. will happen 2 – 3 times on Tuesday. Students will read for 15 minutes.
Wednesday – Dress as Your Favorite Book Character Day. Students are permitted to wear costumes or other clothing to reflect their favorite story book character. Please discuss this with your students on Friday. A letter will be going home.
Thursday – Buddy Up with Books, with 3rd and 4th grade reading to the younger classes. The time selected will be 10:05 – 10:50. 4th grade classes will split up and read to Kindergarten and 2nd. 3rd grade will read to 1st. Assignments attached.
Friday – Lunchtime Read Aloud with Ms. Burnett and Mrs. Cassarino. If your class has the opportunity to make Dr. Seuss hats during this week (only a suggestion), it would be a great time to wear them.
