Dear First
Grade Families,
We had a busy
week! Although it was rainy and cold for our Moomer’s field trip, we still
had a blast! We learned so much about cows, farms, and ice cream!
We continued our Geography Unit
this week and continued to discuss directions, maps, states, cities, towns
and our great state of Michigan. We read, M is for Mitten by Annie
Appleford. We loved this book. The book taught us so many new things about
Michigan that we did not know. Everyone did a wonderful job on the “I love
Michigan…” writing prompt!
On Tuesday we will participate in Good Behavior Field Day.
It is from 12:00 – 2:30 p.m. on the football
field. In order to be prepared for the weather, you may want to send in a
coat/sweater, water bottle and hat with your child. Also it would be a good
day to have sun block on. The Lions Club will provide hot dogs, popcorn,
and pop for an afternoon snack. Volunteers help make this day a great
success. If you are able to lead an event/activity, then please contact the
office.
On Tuesday, May 26th we took our Unit 9 math assessment. For
this assessment the students read the questions to themselves. On Wednesday
we reviewed our test and made test corrections. Enclosed is your child’s
original test and stapled to that is their corrections.
Next Thursday is our last day of school (June 4th).
Please send in an extra bag with your child on Wednesday, June 3rd
as we will begin to pack up our classroom and empty our desks and lockers.
I would like to take the time to thank all of our classroom
volunteers. Mrs. Neph (Monday’s helper), Jodie Hough (Tuesday/Friday’s
helper), Mrs. Gale (Tuesday’s helper) and Mrs. Scarlata (Thursday’s
helper). Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedules
to help out in our classroom. Your time is much appreciated! THANK YOU!!
It was a pleasure to get to know some of you and all of your
children. I enjoyed every moment. They all have wonderful personalities!
Each of your children have taught me something that I will take with me
forever as I continue my teaching career!
