In like a lion, out like a lamb?  Only time will tell.  We are hoping that we won’t see any March blizzards!

Our curriculum is literacy based, so we are always focused on books.  March is an extra special month where it seems that we become even more literacy focused!  We love celebrating Dr. Suess’ birthday as well as having the opportunity to dress like a favorite story book character.  This month we will also be able to enjoy a Book Fair at our school.  This is a wonderful opportunity to build your home libraries as well as a great chance for us to add books to our classroom libraries.

Books are amazing! If you are having a day where everything seems crazier than normal, sitting down with a book with your child is a great way to help everyone pause for a moment.  Children love stories, but they also love books that are about real facts.  I encourage you to let your child seek out some non-fiction books.  They will absorb an amazing volume of facts about lots of things.

Here are some of our fun things we have planned for the month of March:

• 2nd: Dr Suess Day
