Happy Thursday!

Happy Thursday!

I hope you have enjoyed the sunshine today, too bad it didn't make it any warmer.  :(

Reader's Theater
This morning, we did Reader's Theater (small plays where students practice their fluency - reading the words on the page with expression).  The kiddos separated into small groups and worked together on different fables.  Groups made props and actions to enhance their presentation.  Then, all the group performed their fable for the class (we even had some outside visitors of Ms. Benson, Ms. Norwood and Mr. Smith).  I think all the kids enjoyed reading, presenting, and listening to a variety of fables this morning!  Here are the pictures. 

Word Study
As a reminder, we have our spelling test tomorrow.  We have been working on long a words with the vowel pattern ai & ay.  Our words this week are: drain, gain, braid, train, raise, stay, tray, gray, clay & play.

Winter Attire
Please make sure that your child is coming to school with a winter coat, gloves/mittens, hats, etc.  Today when we went outside for recess the wind chill was 24 degrees.  Cheeks and hands were definitely red and cold when we came in.  

Pajamas Tomorrow
RBE has been collecting pajamas for The Rainbow House this week.  So if your child has donated a pair of pajamas or brings in a pair to donate tomorrow, they can wear a pair tomorrow to school.  Please remember that it is winter time, so make sure that they pajamas are winter-like pajamas.  It is windy & cold on the playground!

Have a fabulous evening and stay warm!

Mrs. Ross
