Week of 3/18

Dear Parents,

We had so much fun building showing off our leprechaun traps last week. Their creativity and engineering skills blew me away. We had so much fun looking at each others traps and Lucky the Leprechaun even stopped by in the afternoon! Check out the pictures of the traps below. 

Spring is here and Easter is around the corner. Here are the reminders for this week:

- Report cards will be sent home tomorrow. You may keep the report card at home. Please sign and return only the envelope!

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

- On Thursday we will celebrate World Down Syndrome Day! The kids may wear silly or mismatched socks to school with their regular school uniform!

- We will have a reading and spelling test on Friday and finish up Unit 6!

- A quick reminder that Spring Break Starts next Wednesday, 3/27 and we return to school on Wednesday, 4/3. Spring uniforms will start when we return if you want to get them out or make a trip to the uniform exchange!

Have a great week!

Week of 3/4

We loved working with real coins last week!

Dear Parents, 

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 :)

- Second trimester closes on Friday.

- Grades 2 and up will be taking the Terra Nova tests this week, but we will be having a normal week and start Unit 6 in reading.

- Due to the short week, we will not test in reading or spelling. 

- No school for students on Friday! Enjoy the long weekend!

- Don't forget leprechaun traps should be sent to school next Friday, March 15th!

Have a great week!
