Hello all!

This week we are continuing guided reading groups and working hard in all subjects.

We are going to be focusing on capitalization and punctuation in writing as well as when and how to use them.

In math, we are focusing on 3D shapes and their attributes allowing with reviewing skip counting, money, and time.

Spelling words for the next two weeks are:  way, find,use,water, may, long, little, very, after, words and they are still responsible for all words from the past.

Science- we are learning life cycles of many things from butterflies, to frogs, to plants.

KONA ICE will be here next Tuesday, April 24th. THE MONEY IS DUE THURSDAY APRIL 19th. No exceptions. You need to fill out the order form and have CASH ONLY turned in by Thursday. Sizes and amounts are on the order form as well.

1st grade field day is Wednesday, April 25th from 12:30-2:30 and will be outdoors. They will need to wear clothes that can get muddy and wet. No swimsuits or flip flops. Water bottles and caps are allowed as long as the child’s name in written on it.

If your child will leave with you, you may check them out with me. If they are staying for the remainder of the day, send an extra set of dry clothes.

Lots of info! There is not much more of 1st grade left and I am so proud of each child and how far they’ve come! 🙂

Intermediate students will be testing Tuesday and Wednesday. We have to be a closed campus and no outside visitors or outside lunches will be allowed. We have to really work hard for our upstairs friends to be successful.

Also,  will be going to the zoo this Wednesday.  Please make sure your child is in comfortable tennis shoes and is wearing a White Oak shirt (if you have one).  To help make the morning flow smoothly, please put your child’s name on his/her lunch and drinks. Masking tape and sharpie is usually a great way to have a name that won’t come off.  I put the drinks in a cooler so they are cold when they go to lunch.  I will be separating the drinks from the lunches.  There have been reports of a lot of you joining us! I am excited to hear that! Your child still has to ride the bus to the zoo but can ride home with you after you sign them out from the group. If you are a designated chaperone, and have other children with you, you will have the stay the entirety of the trip. I am excited and so are the kiddos! It will be a fun trip!

We are learning about or state and will be using it across the room in all subjects.

In Math, we will continue skip counting, time, coins, and problem solving.

Parents, I know baseball and softball season is in full gear, but be aware of your child continuing his/her reading each day along with any other homework comes home. We continue to have lots to do and reading each day at home help push the students closer and closer to their reading goal.

Stamina is something we will push for. Although students may be reading on or above level , the books get very long as the reading level continues to go up and we want them to be able to read without tiring out and losing comprehension.

Thank you all for everything you do!

I appreciate you!
