MARCHING INTO FIRST
March edition
OPEN HOUSE
Open House was a HUGE success. The children really shined during their performance. We are so proud of them. They are off to do great things!
WALKERS
Thank you for using your signs when picking up your children. This is so important because sometimes we have subs and they don't know the parents. Also, when holding up the sign it would really help if you are not standing further than the tree. Sometimes it is really hard to read some of the names from so far away. We try to get your children out as quickly as possible and I think this might do the trick.
BOOK CHARACTER DAY
Wow! What a fun day! We loved seeing the kids with their outfits and books. Most of them really got into character and could tell us whey they chose the character that they did. It is definitely a tradition we want to keep doing. Thanks for all of your help in making/creating a costume for your child.
ACADEMICS
We are learning about using adjectives to compare,(big,bigger,biggest). First Graders love to compare! We will also learn about synonyms and antonyms. We are still working on numbers up to 120. We will be working with coins when we get back from Spring Break and we will also be finishing up our Engineering Unit on Designing walls. Didn't the kids do an amazing job creating the mortar and then putting a wall of rocks together? More fun to come in the spring.
CLASS PICTURES
These will be taken on March 19th. Students will have individual as well as a class photo. When you compare the fall and spring pictures you can certainly see how much your child has grown.
KINDER REGISTRATION
New Registration for KINDERGARTEN of 2019 will be on March 22nd. If you have a Kindergartener that will be attending Mathews in the fall you will need to register them. If you know of a family that has a young one please spread the word.
