Make sure your child wears our field trip t-shirt, tennis shoes, a hat, sunglasses, and comfortable shoes.
Thank You-Thank You!
I so appreciate your attendance at our Open House and Music Program.
Your sweet children were so proud of themselves and their learning.
I hope you learned a few things as well.
Thanks for making this a truly special event!

Weekly Learning
Writing/Language: The students will be writing a nonfiction book about ocean animals. We will begin our research this week and then finish the book after spring break. This book will include a table of contents, glossary, index, and various other features of nonfiction writing. (W1.2, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, L1.1, 1.2)
Math: We are learning to add 2-digit numbers with and without regrouping. Students are not expected to master this skill by the end of first grade. However, applying their understanding of place value (tens and ones) is what I’m looking for as they attempt these problems. We are also working with number patterns- counting by 2’s & 3’s forward and backward from any number. (NBT.C.4,C.5, C.6, 1.OA.D.8)
Reading: We are stepping up our focus on comprehension during the last 2 months of school. We’ve been talking about how asking questions before, during, and after reading a book or passage makes sure that we are thinking while we are reading. Being able to retell a story with details is also an important skill that shows if a student understands what he/she is reading. (RL1.7, RL1.4, RL1.2)
