Hello!

Several graded papers are coming home today from the course of a few weeks. Please review and go over these with your child praising or to have teaching point. Time to the half hour is sometimes tricky. We have talked and practiced many strategies to get it just right but maybe you can offer something special to help them in your own way.

Wednesday is an early release day. Students will be release at 11:30 and our schedule will be changed around to accommodate the early release. NO LUNCH VISITORS, please. Also, please make arrangements to have kids picked up, or a person waiting at the bus stop, on time. Please note in the planner if there will be an alternate transportation.

Mark your calendars: Next Thursday, March 7, 1st grade will be having a theatrical performance of Frog and Toad. The performance will be on the stage in the cafeteria at 9:00. Hopefully you can make arrangements and be here for this fun and cute play!

We are moving right along, and Spring Break is almost here!!! (9 days, but hey, who is counting?) I am very very impressed with this class as a whole! I know you have seen all the amazing progress they have all worked hard to make!! They are SUPER KIDS!! I am blessed to have each and every one of them! Thank you all for working at home and making them in to such wonderful kids!!

If you need anything, please text or call anytime!

Thank you for making it to the Valentine’s Party and thank you for the sweet and thoughtful gifts! I feel so loved! This class is so special and I’m sure you have seen all the amazing progress they have made!

 

No school Monday! President’s Day Holiday

 

Also, I was talking to the kids and they would like me to extend the book order until Tuesday. Our class code is NG2ZM if you would like to order online or please send a CHECK made out to Scholastic.

 

Thank you or all you do!!

 

 

Hopefully everyone is well. A lot of sickness is spreading through our halls. Help your kiddos remember to wash hands, use hand sanitizer, and sneeze into their elbow.

Friendly reminder to please send any valentine’s by the 14th. We will need all valentine’s passed out prior to the party. If you are bringing special goodies for the party those may be passed out as a party favor or party snack.

Book orders are coming home today and are due Friday. I have purchased each student A Bad Case of Stripes as their valentine gift from me, just so you know instead of purchasing it yourself.

Valentine Party is Thursday, at 11:45

We have learned about nouns, and adjectives (describing words) and this week we are beginning verbs (action, I can words).

In math  we are focusing on ways to make 10, reviewing time, and reviewing halves and fourths. They are working very hard.

In writing, we will begin writing friendly letters to peers in our school. We continue to work on penmanship, punctuation, and what makes a good story.

As you know, I have flexible seating in the classroom and your child may  sit wherever they would like unless your child abuses the furniture, is unkind to someone at their table, or can’t control their talking.

In science we will be covering president’s day and American symbols.
