Well, we've made it! Tomorrow is the first day of Spring. It has been such a warm, mild winter, it probably won't feel like much of a change, but I have to say, I'm very excited none the less!
Last week, we learned all about biographies and started writing our own biography. We discussed the lifecycle of an apple/appleseed. We will continue this week by making a life cycle wheel for the apple. We read all about the things we treasure - you should have heard what the kiddos said they treasured! It was precious!! Mostly you all - families!
This week, we will begin a 3 week unit called Special Friends. We will be working on sounds for the letter y (it can sound like i or e), ways animals help us, adding -ed and -ing to action words (base words and their endings), when to properly use the words is and are, and we will begin a unit on subtraction with numbers up to 20.
Friday, weather permitting, we will have a field trip to Greenway Farms. We will need some chaperones to go with us and help manage a few fun activities with us. If you are interested in going, please let one of the 1st grade teachers know - you can call the school or send a note with your child. There is no cost for this field trip!
Friday, Mar. 23 - Field Trip to Greenway Farms
April 2-6 - Spring Break
Hope you have a wonderful first week of Spring this week! Please remember to read with your babies every day - they are becoming such wonderful readers! Baggy books and new library books will go home tomorrow with your children.
Thanks for your support!
