Week of 5/24

We worked on finding the attributes of 3D figures last week!

Dear Parents,

This is our last week in May! It will be a short one but we still have a lot going on! Please be sure to read all of the reminders:

- This week we will start our last story of the year. We will have a spelling and reading test on this story next Friday and it will count as the reading exam. 

- Next week more information on exams will be on the blog and the exam schedule and study guides will be sent home. 

- We hope you can join us in person or virtually at our first grade Mass tomorrow morning at 9:00 am! The kids have been working hard and are very excited! Virtual students will sign on at 10:35 am.

- I'm sure you read the email about the mask restrictions being lifted for recess and outside gym! This is great news! Masks still need to be worn inside and we are running low on extras so if you could make sure your child has an extra or 2 packed in their schoolbag it would be a big help, especially with how bad the allergies have been. Thanks!

- No school Thursday, 5/27 through Monday, 5/31! Please note that Thursday is no longer an asynchronous day!

- Doughnuts with Dudes is planned for Tuesday, June 8th at 8:30 am in the recess yard if weather permits. Each child gets to invite one "dude" for coffee and doughnuts and some quality time! Dads, grandparents, uncles, close friends are all considered dudes :). More information will sent home next week!

We are finishing up our unit on geography and we got to make our very own maps!
