Read Across America Day!
Our school will celebrate the joy of reading on Read Across America Day on Friday, March 1st. There will be a PTO sponsored mix-and-match, wacky hair, and dress as your favorite book character day. We will also do a school-wide "Drop Everything and Read" time from 3:10-3:25 that day. Your child may also bring in some of their favorite books from home to read on this day and share with our class! Also, if you are interested in coming in to read a special book to our class, we would love to have you in! Please email me if you are interested, and I can set up a time with you!! Happy Reading!
Mini Dance Marathon
Thorpe Creek’s second-annual Mini-Dance Marathon is March 15th after school from 3:50-5:00pm in the TCE gym. We are so excited to partner with Fishers High School as we dance to raise money and awareness for the children at Riley Hospital for Children. Students should turn in permission slips and a donation of $5.00 to their teacher by March 8th. If you have any questions, feel free to email Mrs. Gabbard at jegabbard@hse.k12.in.us or Mrs. Renick at jrenick@hse.k12.in.us FTK!

We are Learning
Reading
Writing
Word Study
Repeated Sort: Students will sort their words. Then check their words using the answer key. Then sort their words again!
Draw and Label: Students choose 10 of their words. Then they will draw a picture of each world and label it.
Blind Sort: Using given guide words, or headers, students spell or write in words in the correct category as a partner calls each word aloud without showing it.
Writing Sort: Students write their words under the correct category.
Speed Sort: Students sort words quickly under the correct categories (use a timer to see how fast they can do it!) Students love to beat records and to set goals for themselves.
Word Hunt: Students hunt through their own reading and writing for words that are additional examples of the sound, pattern, or meaning unit they study!
Buddy Sort: Using the given headers, students sort their words with a partner, then discuss. They will then check their work with their answer key.
