Hoot of the Week, News, Congratulations

 This week Katherine was named Hoot of the Week for Kindergarten. Congratulations Katherine!

We also said goodbye to Sarah. She will be visiting her grandparents in China for the next three months. Sarah will be missed in Room 101. 

We had a student volunteer this week on Wednesday. Miss Mila an 8th grader from Austin Prep and former Room 101 student, volunteered all day with us. She was a big help and the students loved her.

We had some students earn Hoot cards, Lexia certificates, percentage certificates in ST Math, JiJi puzzle pieces from Mrs. Sheppard for being among some of the highest puzzle earners last week for the first week of the March Mathness Competition! Nice work Room 101! 

Parent Readers

 

 Thank you to all the parents who came in to read with us this morning. We had 4 parents read this morning! Thank you to Mrs. Busa, Ms. Alexander, Mrs. Field and Mrs. Fothergill. The parents helped us with reading our March sponsored book with the students. Thank you to the Sylas and Fothergill families for sponsoring this month's class book! We hope families will spend additional time reading all the sponsored books.

Animal Research Projects

We have started our Animal Research projects with our 4th grade partners. This week students looked through nonfiction animal books to discover if the animal was living or nonliving and how they could prove this information. The kindergartners also chose animals that they will do the research on. We will work with our partners the next four Tuesday mornings to work on this project. We will keep you all posted on our progress.

Lucky Visited Again!

 Lucky the leprechaun visited Room 101 three times! He left treasure on Thursday, Friday and Monday, St. Patrick's Day. He left us secret messages that we need to work together to decipher. The students are using all the phonemic, phonetic and sight word skills they have been learning through out the school year to figure out Lucky's messages. We did not see Lucky but all of us in Room 101 were very happy when he visited. His visits helped with excitement during the long month of March.
