This weekend is the last chance to set up your child’s read-a-thon page. Remember, you do not have to donate money…you just have to set up a page. This is FREE and by doing so your child will receive a FREE PRIZE. It doesn’t take long at all. Our class has raised $685.00 so far! And other classes have raised even more!! Remember this is for a GREAT cause and goes straight into making the classrooms better for YOUR kids. Please take the time to register and if possible, donate a few bucks!!

Graded papers are coming home today. Please notice the grades and visit with your child and/or praise them!

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! If you have helped or will help with the amazing things that are happening on our campus, I thank you!

In class we are working hard on writing! This really is the most challenging part of our year because there are so many rules and things to remember while writing a good story with a beginning, middle, and end. They are graded on their independent writing from Writer’s Workshop, Station Writing, and prompted writing!

We are also reading for our final benchmark level and fluency for the year. The kids (and you) have worked very hard to get to the level we are on, and I am so thrilled with all the progress shown!!

In math, we are reviewing concepts taught and adding in FRACTIONS!

I can’t believe it is already MAY!!!! We are so close to 2nd grade!!!! Have a fabulous week!

Read-a-thon has raised some money so far, but we still need kids to create a page. Everyone who creates a page will get a FREE PRIZE just for creating.

Also this weeks CHAMPS were Hudsyn and Meric

We will be having a class GROUP picture made on Tuesday! This is always a great momento to have! The order envelope should have come home yesterday. For $10.00 you get a group photo and a group SILLY photo that is always so fun to look at and laugh!

If you would like to purchase one, please send the money and envelope back 🙂

Have a great weekend!

Please look for a read-a-thon note and description in your child’s take home folder. This is our Campus Fundraiser this year. We use this money to be able to supply computers, ipads, games, and furniture for your student in the classroom. Please take the time to fill out the online profile and donate to help our school and create amazing readers at the same time!!
