Open House and Jump Rope for Heart

Thursday, March 7th was Open House at Florence Hill Elementary. We had a Dr. Seuss theme in our classroom. In the hallway on one board we displayed our sock writing from the book Fox in Socks. We read Cat in the Hat and students wondered about "What if the Cat in the Hat came to my house" they took a "puzzled/deep thought" picture and then wrote about it in a "thinking bubble." Below the two bulletin boards they wrote "I do not like green eggs and ham but I do like _________" and drew a picture of their favorite food taken from the book, Green Eggs and Ham. We read many book written by Dr. Seuss and graphed which book was our favorite. After collecting our data......One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish was the class favorite with eleven. Above the boards each student created their own kite and created nouns, adjectives, and verbs on their kite. As you entered our room their were truffula trees like those seen in The Lorax. Inside the classroom students had work displayed on their desk from writing samples to a science foldable about the sun and moon. There was also a slideshow of pictures taken throughout the year running. It was a great night!

Truffula trees and some kites near door.

Also, Thursday is Egg Hunt at 2:45. Please send 12 plastic candy filled (no chocolate, please) eggs to school by Tuesday so I can prepare everything before Thursday's egg hunt. Send an egg basket or bag with your child on Thursday to hunt their eggs with.     Thank you!
