Congratulations to all those students who remembered to hand in their reading logs today. One student, who read 288 minutes last week, won the prize for reading the most minutes in our class. As a class, students read over 1,400 minutes last week! A good beginning...however, only about 1/2 of the children returned their logs on time. Please be reminded that this log is part of the students' homework and must be returned on Wednesdays in order for them to receive credit. I cannot give credit to students who hand in logs late or whose logs have not been filled out correctly. Logs should list the titles of the books read, the number of minutes per day that the student read, and should be signed by an adult. We are also competing against the other first grade classrooms to see who can read the most minutes; there is even a bulletin board charting our progress across from the nurse's office, so keep reading Room 125!!! New logs went home today. Please check your child's folder for his/her copy.
We celebrated St. Patrick's Day by finishing up our leprechaun traps and placing them around the room in hopes of catching one of the mysterious red-bearded fellows. When the students came back from recess they discovered candy and real coins in their traps! I'm sure you'll enjoy your child's creativity when he/she brings his/her trap home!
A big "thank you" to Mrs. L for providing special cookies for St. Patty's Day and to Mrs. C for giving us a set of 28 new glue sticks!!! We also got one box of tissues in today (thank you, Mrs. B)...but with everyone sniffling and coughing at this time of year, we sure could use more!
