March 25th

We are loving all the posts on Seesaw and being able to say hello to everybody. Thank you to everyone who has posted. I'll be online from 9:00-10:30am to answer any questions you may have or just to check in and say hello! For SeeSaw, once you post I have to approve the post, so I've been trying to check a few times a day!

So far I've received two videos from students who already have their address memorized! I will start working on your letters soon! Speaking of letters,  Pete the Cat loves letters and will sometimes write back if you include a return address. This might be another way to get students to practice learning their address:

Some Students worked directly with Mrs. Levi this school year but the whole class knows her! If you'd like to visit this link for daily read alouds: https://app.box.com/s/86ghmokvo9roptldvqnb2v4wr6ar5nof

These are the spirit days we have left this week if you are interested. Post a spirited picture on SeeSaw! For me, crazy hair day has been all week.

Our digital learning plan asks only that your child….

Sight words for the week:  please, eat, here

Letter sounds of the week: Long E as in “see” and “pea”

Writing Wednesday:

The sight word “here” is in the sight word “there” but the “e” makes a different sound. Write both words in your journal and then write a rhyming word for each. 

Read the story of “Leaping Eve” with your family. Highlight all the long e words you find and read them to your family. 

Read the story of “Leaping Eve” with your family. Draw a picture of the three different settings of the story and label each picture to show where she was. 

The Story of “Eve’s Leaps”

Eve is a girl who enjoys seeing the world. Each day, Eve leaves her home in the country and walks to school in the city. Along the way, Eve usually stops to enjoy the baseball games, peer into the deep blue streams, gaze up at the tall green trees, and peek into car windows as they pass by on busy streets. But when Eve is late, she wishes she could shorten her walk by not having to go around the baseball fields and tall trees, wait for green lights to cross busy streets, or walk to bridges to cross streams. 

While playing leapfrog one day, Eve started thinking of how Superman can leap even the tallest buildings in a single bound. That night Eve began to dream. In her sleep, Leaving Eve leapfrogged over the swiftest streams, busiest streets, biggest baseball fields, and tallest trees with a single leap.

When Eve woke up the next morning, she decided to see if her dream was real. First she tried to leap over a stream, but she got all wet. Then Eve tried leaping over a baseball field, but she got stuck on the fence. Fortunately, the light was green when she came to a busy street, so she tried leaping three green trees. Eve couldn’t have been more pleased when she cleared the trees without touching a leaf, but the trees were only three inches high.

**Don't forget to practice small batches of sight words each day**
