What's New!?!
It was great to see the kiddos on Monday! I think some of them grew a few inches over Spring Break. We have had a great week and they are acting like first graders more and more every day. We are starting to go back and review everything that we have learned this year. Continue working with them at home so all that they have learned stays fresh on their minds!
Math:
• Addition
• Subtraction
• Shapes
• Graphing
Kidwriting:
• Writing a How to Piece (how to brush your teeth, how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, etc.)
Literacy:
• Retelling with details
• Making connections with what they read
Science:
• Comparing the growth and plant parts of two plants (lima beans and flowers)

I have started conferencing with parents this week. If you haven’t scheduled a conference with me, I would love to meet you. Please, get in touch with me so we can schedule a time to meet.
The permission form for our Spring Field trip was sent home on Thursday. Please read over it carefully and send in the form and the $10 by Thursday the 21st. If you plan to attend the trip I would suggest coming to school by 9 or 9:15. Remember that you will have to provide your own transportation. You can ride with additional parents if you would like. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me!
Homework started back up this week. Please support your child at home with their reading. Have them read it on their own instead of you reading the book first. They are doing really well at being able to sound out words!
