We have been spending a lot of time talking about spring and the signs we should be seeing soon, although right now it seems as if winter will be around for a while. Our calendar has a pattern of spring birds and I assured the class that Canada geese and red-wing blackbirds definitely return in March!

Today we went to the computer lab and everyone had an opportunity to explore a program called Shapes. The children used pattern block shapes to make pictures. Ask your child what he or she created.

Conference times were sent home with each child today. They are scheduled for next Thursday, March 17th. Please let me know if your time does not work for you and we can try to make alternative arrangements.

We have a growing collection of pennies in the classroom and there is a collection bucket by Connie's desk as well. Please keep sending them in.
