Hello Parents and Students –
I am so excited to start off March with Dr. Seuss Week. He is one of my favorite authors and it leads into one of my favorite seasons, spring. I am VERY ready to say good bye to winter and get some warmer weather.
As a school, follow the flyer below to know what we are doing each day. Something fun to do at home too, could be, reading books from Dr. Seuss each night out loud with your kiddos. Making funny food ( green eggs and ham), or just talking about your favorite books you read as a child.
I am using this week to, once again, encourage my students to LOVE to READ! I am introducing our “Spring into Reading” challenge. Books that the students read this month and till the end of April, they will fill out a flower that has certain parts that will show their understanding and proof of the book. They will also RATE the book so that some of their friends may want to read it, or maybe not read it, depending on the material. The more flowers and books the students read the more they will be putting their names in for a drawing at the end of April. I will have one big prize, but a few mini prizes too. If you would like to donate any prizes for this cause, or if you would like to donate any books to my classroom, I am ALWAYS willing and wanting.
One more, EXTRA thing, we will be doing for this week will be a READ a THON held on Thursday, March 4. It will be in the afternoon, students will be able to bring: 1 treat, 1 drink, and 1 cuddly. They will NOT be able to share their treats or drinks (covid) but can enjoy good books electronically or old fashioned on the pages. LOL I will not be allowing music for this read a thon, but I was asked about listening to reading podcasts, where someone is reading a book to a student. I am just fine with that. Of course there is the permission slip to fill out. It is at the bottom of the post. Please make sure you read it carefully and understand that if you send an electronic to read with, Mrs.Young and the Quest Academy will not be held accountable for any materials lost, stolen, or broken. Also, that the student will be bringing their OWN treat, drink, and cuddly… Mrs. Young will NOT be providing any food for this party.
Have a wonderful weekend and I will see everyone back on Monday, ready for a fun week to start off our NEW month!
