Week of 3/9

Dear Parents,

I hope this warmer weather stays with us! The second trimester closes this Friday and I can assure you that this last trimester will FLY by. In this final trimester, we really focus on responsibility, independence and self control. We talk a lot about being "almost second graders" and what being in second grade entails. One of the best parts of teaching first grade is seeing the growth that each child makes in 9 short months. Thinking back from September until now they are completely different kiddos! I am sure you see it too :)

Here are the reminders for this week:

- The Go Run program starts next Thursday! Miss Elisio and I are very excited to get started! If your child wants to join, please see the flyer on the school website and click here for the Registration Form. Please sign up by Friday!

- Test folders will be sent home tomorrow. Please sign and return on Wednesday.

- There will be math test on graphing tomorrow. The kids have been doing a great job with this!

- There will be a Religion test on Chapter 12 on Friday. A study guide will be sent home today.

- Leprechaun Traps are due next Tuesday! If you could refrain from sending them in early it would be greatly appreciated! Unfortunately, there is not enough room to store 16 traps for the week! Also, if you could have your child practice telling how their traps work that would be great because they will be presenting them to the class!

That's all for now!

Miss Tosti

We LOVED our story "Let's Go to The Moon" and we worked a lot with finding the main idea! of stories and passages. We had a lot of fun working with our partners reading mixed up paragraphs and finding the main idea of each. Finding the main idea at this age can be tricky, but the kids really did a great job with this!
