Hoot of a good time!!
The wise owls enjoyed playing our new board game, Hoot Owl Hoot. The object is to work together to get all the owls into the nest before the sun rises. We hooted and howled with laughter playing this together.
Reading Across America
Our class has read a total of 85 books in the first week of our trip. Our goal is to read 250 books this month. We are well on the way to meeting that goal. All of the Boxwoods classes combined have read 350 miles, which put us in Buffalo, NY. We left Springfield, MA (Dr. Suess' birthplace) on March 2nd. We are hoping to get to San Francisco, CA. In music class we are learning patriotic songs about the United States to inspire our journey. Please help us reach our goal by keeping your child's reading log and sending it to me every Friday. We have a classroom graph of every book recorded in the log for each student.

Mardi Gras Update
Today we ate traditional kingcake to determine the king of the Krewe of Toot Toot. Harris found the baby in his cake and was crowned King Rex. Hayden was chosen to be the Queen. We are asking the children to try to dress in Green, gold or purple for our parade on Tuesday. The floats are ready and excitement is at a peak!!!!

Laissez bon temps rouler!!
The wise owls are preparing for Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)! There was great excitement today as we read books and listened to music about the holiday. I began my teaching career in Louisiana, and thought the early learners would enjoy this tradition. Tomorrow we will prepare our costumes to hide the identity of the members of our Krewe. Friday we will prepare the floats for the parade on Tuesday. We have invited all the classes on campus to line the parade route at recess on Fat Tuesday for the first annual Mardi Gras Parade.
