Note From the Teacher
This was a productive week in 1st grade! This week, in Reading, we reviewed describing characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details. In Writing, we finished editing and revising our complete fictional narratives to publish. I have mailed our book out for final publishing and it should arrive before Summer vacation. Our class put forth a lot of hard work and effort to make our class book. We are excited to share our hard work with you! In Math, we continued working on geometry. In Science, we began learning about weather.
Thank you to everyone that was able to come join us at McTeacher night. We raised a lot of money and had a blast. :-)
Ordering a yearbook gives your child a chance to look back at the year with fond memories. They will enjoy it for years to come. There are only a few weeks left before the deadline so this may be your last chance to get one. The yearbook has more pages and pictures this year, so be sure to put your order in now! To order go to www.ybpay.com and follow the directions. It will ask you which school you want to order from, and then take you to the correct school site. If you have any questions, please contact rhonda.tomnitz@republicschools.org.
If you are interested in being a guest reader, please let me know! We would LOVE to have you! :-)
