Oh, the fun!  We had a really great day today!  The students loved celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday!
We made funny pseudonyms for ourselves to use for the day.  Ask your child what a pseudonym is! We made Cat in the Hat hats, completed a Dr. Seuss word search, came up with -at rhyming words, answered questions about a Dr. Seuss book pie chart, and we read with friends and also listened to Dr. Seuss stories aloud.  At the end of the day we watched a couple of Dr. Seuss' stories on DVD.

Besides the extra reading being extra fun we had quite a few students make their AR goals today as a direct benefit!  Congratulations to D'Mario, Maddox, and Alexis for making their AR goals!  Also congratulations to Patrick and Autumn for making their goals last week.  (I don't remember mentioning it last week, so I apologize.)  Way to go Patrick for being the first student this grading period to make his AR Challenge goal of 9 points with at least 80% accuracy!!!  That's awesome!

Michael lost a tooth today, which was pretty exciting, especially when he dropped it on our speckled hallway floor and we had to find it!  Luckily these old eyes still work pretty well and we found the tooth!  Phew!  Disaster averted!  There's never a dull moment in first grade!

Don't forget reading homework journals and decodable books are due tomorrow.

Enjoy your little darlings tonight!  :)
