Hooray!

We have earned 5 more class-wide Pax-It notes for our awesome, impressive behavior!  To celebrate we will be watching a movie and having a treat tomorrow, Friday, May 30th.

If you have a G-rated movie you can send in with your first grader as a choice tomorrow, please put it in their backpack.  We'll vote at Morning Meeting!

Tomorrow is also Step-Up Day.  Your child will be visiting their second grade teacher's classroom.  Please look for a letter in their folder this afternoon with more information.

We have two more Poetry Cafes left this year.  We'd love for you to join us if you can at 1:45.

Lastly, this week was our last week of homework for the year.  No homework will be sent home the next two weeks of school, but please continue to access RAZ-Kids and Xtramath as you see fit and works into your schedules.

The Chicks are Coming!

We prepared our incubator today for the arrival of our chicks! We anticipate that our chicks will begin hatching next Monday and Tuesday.  We are very excited!


I will be out on Monday so I sent homework and poems for next week home today with your first grader.  Please do not feel like you need to do anything over the weekend!

It Really Is A...

We played a really fun game today called, It Really Is A... we had so much fun!  Ask your first grader to tell you about it!

Celebration Update

We had such an awesome week behaviorally, we are celebrating DOUBLE TIME tomorrow!  In addition to a movie with a stuffed animal, the first graders have decided that they will also wear their pajamas to school OR their fanciest clothes!  We had some extremely excited students for pjs and slippers, as well as excited students for patent leather and tulle so... we just cannot wait to see what tomorrow brings!  

Remember... I won't be at school tomorrow and I cannot STAND that I am missing this awesome day.  If you have time, take a photo of your student (or students at Poetry Cafe) and email them to me!  I will post them on the blog next week!

Thanks so much!  

Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!

CELEBRATION SUCCESS!

We have had an amazingly successful week being respectful, responsible, and ready to learn.  So good, in fact, we had two entire days without spleems! To celebrate our fantastic work, we are watching a movie with a stuffed animal tomorrow, Friday, May 2, 2014.  Please send your child in to school with their favorite (small-ish) stuffed animal.  Remember to congratulate them on their hard work as well! 

Today we worked on a special project in our classroom and celebrated Danielle's birthday!  We LOVE Smartfood popcorn!  



Please remember we have Poetry Cafe tomorrow and would love to have you join us!  I will be out of the classroom, so Poetry Cafe might look a little differently, but I'm sure it will be wonderful!
