Spring has Sprung!

I can't believe how fast the school year is flying by.  Third quarter ends on Friday, March 24.

A huge thank you to Colter and Joey's mothers for coming in to help with our leprechaun science experiments.  The kiddos had so much fun!

Thank you to those who donated to the first grade raffle basket.  If you have not already done so there is still time to donate.  Our basket theme is family fun.  Please send donations to school on Monday, March 20.

The Classroom Carnival is Friday, March 24.  The teachers and PTA have been working hard to plan a fun night for the kids.  The funds raised go directly to the teachers to purchase items for the classroom, field trips, and other special projects.

In reading, we will be learning about the sky and what we can see in the sky.  The comprehension skills this week are, making predictions and cause/effect.

In writing, we will begin book reviews.  Each student will get a Mo Willems book (because he is my favorite author!) to review.  They will start by using a graphic organizer to plan why they liked the book or why they did not like the book.  We will then use the graphic organizer to write an opinion piece.  After the students write their opinion piece they will be working on revising and editing.  Revising and editing will be a big focus throughout fourth quarter.

In math, we will continue to work on non-standard measurement.

Have a great week!
