t-shirt order form, Wonder Bubbles and homework

Happy Friday,

Please check your child’s folder for a blue t-shirt order form.  This form is due this Monday April 25th. It will represent 3 big events coming up: Leadership Day, School Clean Up Parade, and Field Day. We can all wear our shirts on those days!  Cash only. 5$

Wonder Bubbles-students have begun a research project either on an animal or weather. They begin with a question “I wonder…” and then research to find the answer as wwell as provide fun facts about their topic. They will then create a large bubble (cut from poster board) in which they will draw a big picture in art class of their topic and then affix their research to the bubble. Later down the road we would like them to construct a 3 dimensional figure of their topic so ask them what they are researching for their “Wonder Bubble” and start gathering recycled materials they could use to create it. This construction will take place later in the year but you can start collecting the materials now.

There has been a decline in completing and turning in homework, including their reading/behavior log.  Please talk to them about the importance of being responsible in these areas.

Thanks and Have a Great Weekend,

Mrs. Kearney

Tower of Books Challenge

Hello, First Graders will be participating in a Tower of Books Challenge. A note with directions and supplies has been sent home.  I have also explained to the students what they need to do.  Please encourage your child to participate and  challenge him/herself in this activity.

Reminder: Field Trip Friday.  We will be outdoors so dress appropriately and send a bagged lunch.

 

Field Trip Forms

Please send in Field Trip forms by Tuesday, April 8th.  We have been fortunate this year to experience several field trips. It’s great that the students have had learning experiences outside of the classroom.  Thank you parents for helping on the trips, it’s truly appreciated.

Have a safe and enjoyable week off!

Parent Teacher Conferences and Literacy Night

Parent Teacher conferences are on Wednesday, March 23, 2016.  Invites were sent home to some students, not all.  Please check your child’s folder and return the slip indicating whether or not the time slot works for you.  If you did not get a slip and there is something you would like to discuss, just let me know.

Literacy night is that night as well. It’s from 4:30-6:00pm. Come and check it out!

No school on Friday.
