Mrs. Lyman's Parent Letter
Friday, March 27th, 2009

 Dear First Grade Families,

          This week during shared reading we learned to read If you give a moose a muffin by Laura Numeroff.  We completed a story map, wrote a letter to a friend, completed a making words lesson, learned some moose facts, made a graph of our favorite kinds of muffins, and made a class book.

          In math this week we completed our geometry unit and we took our unit seven checking progress.  Graded tests and the unit eight letter have come home.

          I am so impressed with all the reading the kids have done for reading month!  They have all earned their scoops of ice cream.  We enjoyed our sundae celebration today!  Keep up the reading and thank-you for helping your child stay motivated to be involved in books!

          Monday, April 13 through Thursday, April 16th your child will be taking the Iowa Test of the Basic Skills.  It will test in the areas of reading and math.  The format is similar to the magazine tests that we took this year.  Please make sure your child gets plenty of rest and a big healthy breakfast during this week.

          Well, today was my last day with your children.  I want you to know how much I have enjoyed getting to know them and I am so glad I could be a part of their academic growth.  They are all doing so well.  Thank-you for the support you provide at home.  I will miss being with them to see them through the end of the year, but they are in very good hands with Miss Catanese.  Thank-you so much for entrusting me with your first grader this year.  I hope to see all of you very soon.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Lyman
