OUR LAST FULL WEEK OF SCHOOL!!

Miss Feller and I have mixed emotions about next week being our last full week together with your child.  I, personally, am not ready at all to see the year end and this will be our last newsletter posting for the year.  This is also our last week of homework.  Please continue to do raz-kids all summer and even review the spellingcity words that we have done all year.  The kids really do enjoy these websites!

Have a Safe and Fun Memorial Day

Miss Feller and I are looking forward to seeing every single child next week.  We love our teaching time with your child and although break will be for four days, we want to encourage you to read with your child.  If you have access to the internet, you can get on spellingcity.com AND raz-kids from your computer.  Next week's spelling words are posted already.
Have fun!

COINS!!

We still have a lot of students who still need to recognize coins.  In order to be ready for second grade, each student will need to recognize the coin name, the value and be able to add coin values together.  Begin with simple combinations and get more complex when going to the store in order to reinforce what we are working on here at school.  One thing that would be great to do over the weekend is to give your child $5.00 ( or even a $1.00) and let your child figure out how many things can be purchased with the amount.  The more advanced your child is, the more difficult combinations you can do with your child.  Include the fifty cent piece with your study at home.


We are counting by 5's, 10's and 25's.  We add pennies to different amounts as well as nickels and dimes to different numbers.  It's often hard for first graders to add one to 35 or even 49.  Have fun!

Spelling/ Homework Resumes This Week!!

List #1 - food, school, book, look, saw, great, before


List #2 - Earth, bird, school, interesting, lawn, draw, across


Homework will be due on Thursday of this week and our spelling test will be on Thursday as well.  Friday is our field trip so we will be gone all day.

Field Trip On Friday!!

Our big field trip will be on this Friday, June 1st.  It is vital that the permission slips come to school by Wednesday of next week or your child cannot come. I hope that everyone will be able to attend and we only have a few children that still need to bring his/her permission slip.  


We're very excited and I am delighted to have your child see "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" in a live performance. Please have your child wear nice but comfortable clothes to the performance in order to give the kids a chance to be a part of a nice theater experience.

THINKING AHEAD

We are approaching our big field trip to Portland a week from this Friday on June 1 to Portland to the play, "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie".  Remember we won't be having school on the Monday of next week due to Memorial Day so we have school on Friday scheduled. 

I have all of the parents signed up for the big day but if you would still like to attend, please call me and I will give you the address to send off for tickets.  It will be a very big day!
