Great Start

I just want to thank all of you for a great start to the school year! We have been working on our classroom procedures and starting some basic academics. We are now getting into our regular classroom routines. We have started our take home reading books and hopefully those are going well. Next week we will begin our Raz kids reading.

Field day and goodbye

We started Field Day with otter pops.

They had to try and walk with an egg between their legs and holding a mat between their shoulders.

This was tag with squirt bottles. If they got wet they had to stop and do two push ups.

They had to hold the cotton ball under their chin and run and drop it in a cup.

They played with the parachute which they always enjoy!

I just want to thank all of you for a fabulous first grade year! I will miss all of you. Good luck in second grade!

Spring party

Thanks a ton to all of the parents that helped with the spring party. Here are a few pictures!






I hope everyone has a fantastic Spring Break!

St. Patrick's Day

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything. Next week is St. Patrick's Day. We will not be having a party per say but we will be doing an eating of the greens. We are looking for donations of any green food. The food must be store bought. It can be sweet or healthy, hopefully we get a good mix. This is an activity we will be doing with our 3rd grade buddies from Mrs. Orr's class. Hopefully it will be a fun activity.

Valentine Pictures

Thanks to all of the mom's who helped with our party! We had a great time.

February 2 - 6

This week we will be working on number sense, reading buddy Guessing Gus the Lion (he tells me that I can make predictions or guesses about a story by looking at the pictures, title, and words in the story. Making predictions before I read will help me while I'm reading!), finish up our unit on blends and diagraphs, and continue our unit on water.

Tuesday and Wednesday are SEP conferences. Please try to attend your child's SEP conference at their assigned time. Please be on time, I only have fifteen minutes for each conference and no breaks between conferences.

The book fair is going on during SEP conferences in the library.

Friday, February 13, we will have our class Valentine's party. We will exchange Valentine's if your child would like to. If they choose to exchange then they need to bring one for everyone in class. We have 28 students in our class. I sent home a class list on the back of this weeks newsletter. If you need another class list email me or send me a note and I will get you another one.

Monday, February 16, there is no school for President's Day.
