Dr. Seuss on the Loose!
Mrs. Thonus

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss! In honor of his March 2 birthday we will celebrate "Read Across America" on Monday. Students will read and listen to Dr. Seuss' books. We even get to wear our pajamas to school. It will be a special treat!

Children in room 17 will write crazy and imaginative rhyming poems in the style of Dr. Suess and then create crazy creatures inspired by their couplets. Using glitter, feathers, google eyes, and lots of other "treasures" they will have loads of fun allowing their creativity to "run wild"! Samples of these poems and creatures are posted on this Website on the Dr. Seuss Poems page. I know you will find them very amusing.

Dr. Seuss taught many of us how to read. Still more of us learned valuable life lessons from his lovable characters in stories like The Lorax, Horton Hears a Who, and The Sneetches. Thank you, Dr. Seuss!

Please visit the Dr. Seuss page on this site for links to games and activies about Dr. Seuss and his wonderful and crazy characters.

Divide and Conquer
Mrs. Thonus

Sharing has been a part of your child's life since “toddlerhood”. Last month we explored division and the students learned that division can mean sharing or repeated subtraction. They also investigated the relationship between multiplication and division. Students who are comfortable with the multiplication facts will find division easy!

Division success is dependent upon your child’s memorization of the multiplication facts. Please visit the Multiplication, WOW! link on this Website. You will find wonderful resources on the Internet.

Thank you for your continued support at home! Your child's maximum success is nearly impossible without it.

Where in the World Are We?
