Dear First Grade Families,
On Monday
morning we saw the first act of our high school musical, Annie.
The actors did an excellent job. If your child would like to see the
musical in its entirety you can bring them Friday at 7:00, Saturday at
7:00 or Sunday at 3:00.
Our brand new
wing of the school is open! We have been enjoying our new lunch area,
music room and art studio. Mr. Bromley would like to use the new gym,
but not everyone has been wearing gym shoes on Tuesday. Please be sure
your child comes to school wearing rubber soled athletic shoes on our
gym day (Tuesday’s) so they can enjoy our new gym.
We completed
the last part of the Iowa Test of the Basic Skills this morning. The
kids did a great job staying focused and doing their best. I was
mistaken in my previous letters home. The test had only math and reading
concepts. It did not test science or social studies. |
We had a unit
7 checking progress. Graded tests came home today. The family letter
introducing unit 8 came home today also. Please keep in mind that I will
not be introducing too many new concepts. I want to review and practice
skills we have learned so they can achieve mastery and readiness for
second grade.
Sign-up for
summer baseball starts soon. A registration form came home today in your
child’s folder.
One of our
literacy stations next week will be science. If your child has any items
at home they would like to donate to the science station please have
them bring their items to school.
I would like
to thank all of you who attended conferences. It was nice to talk to all
of you again about the progress your children have made.
Have a wonderful
weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lyman |
