Sunday Update

Hi, Everyone!  Last week before vacation - and it will be busy as usual.  We are resuming our Reading Street lessons, so watch for new spelling words coming home on Monday.  Monday is also 100 day - so if your child has made a project, he/she should bring it in to share.  We will have Show and Tell on Friday this week - I'm sure your child will remind you.  You may have noticed that the snowman video was on this blog - it did not work, so I took it down.  We did get to watch the video Friday at school, and I am still working on getting it up and running correctly on the blog.  The animal reports did get finished - hopefully you saw your child's - they are now in our class room library for everyone to enjoy and learn from.  We also finished up our first math journal last week.  ( I do not correct every item in the math journal, but do check to be sure the children are grasping the concepts, and have them fix major or frequent errors.)The children took the Unit 5 test, and did very well.  So on Friday we began the second half of the math program.  On Tuesday, the PTA approved the first grade request for funds to visit Charmingfare Farm in June.  We asked for $300.00, and they gave us $400.00!  Thank you PTA!  Still, the admission fee and bus cost is substantial - and we will be sending home information this week so you can plan ahead for this fun and educational trip.
Have a great week!
