Dear Families,
Somehow
we have reached the last full week of school for next week. I am not sure where the time went. It really feels like Meet the Teacher was
just last week. At the bottom of the
newsletter and on the last homework sheet are all the upcoming dates for the
rest of the school year. Please read
carefully so you do not miss anything!
This
week was another busy week in first grade.
We worked on some end of the year assessments. We worked hard on opinion writing for both a
general opinion paragraph and a book review.
We finished up illustrating our published books to be able to show you
on Wednesday. In math, we continue to
work on geometry and will finish up that unit next week. In social studies, we finished up our
community unit, and we are having a few conversations about ancient Egypt and
comparing that to our communities today.
In science next week we will finish the year with a unit on rocks and
soil. Plus, we wrote and performed some
puppet shows for our friends.
In
their backpacks today are Mother’s Day gifts and cards for this weekend. They are breakable, so I hope they all make
it home safely! I do have a few extras
that we can redo if one does not make it home.
Here
are all the upcoming dates and information that you need to have for the next
two weeks!
