QUILT UPDATE!!

Our class quilt is being quilted!!  A HUGE thank you to Kymberly McIntosh and Marcie Johnson for piecing and sewing the quilt together.  Also, thank you for those of you who sent in money to help with the quilting cost.  It is being estimated to be about $80.00 for the quilt to be quilted and we have received $55.00 so far.  Thank you faithful parents!

SCIENCE FAIR - March 20

You aren't going to believe how quickly March 20 will roll around.  Please refer to the attached sheet for information and ideas regarding the event. At this level it should be very simple.  A display board would be helpful for your findings.  On the board you should have the following:
A question
How you observed and got information
A prediction of what you thought would happen
The experiment
What you found out.
We will be doing a class project as well so please consider doing one of your own at home.
DOING SCIENCE HELPS YOU LEARN ABOUT SCIENCE!!!

AUCTION QUILT

Kymberly McIntosh is doing an AMAZING job with our class quilt.  She is running into a lot of expense in piecing the quilt together. It would really be wonderful if we, as a class could help her out with the cost of batting, material and the cost of having it quilted by a master quilter from west Salem.  If you are so inclined and would like to help her by contributing a small amount of money, I know that it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you so much and you may talk to me if you have further questions.  GO FIRST GRADE PIRATES!!


QUILT NAME:  Portraits of Perrydale First Graders
                           Class of 2023

HOMEWORK

The grammar homework will be discussing the capitalization of proper nouns.  We will also continue working on contractions, "Bossy e", and "Sleepy e".

In Math we are grouping things to 10 and adding and subtracting two digit and one digit numbers.  I will also be assessing coin combinations.

SCIENCE FAIRE

I am attaching some ideas that you may wish to use as you begin to think about your science project coming up.  Again, we will be doing one as a class and also I am encouraging each one of the children to do their own.  It's really fun and they will always remember the process they will go through to present his/her project.


Science Process:
