Hi Everyone!
Happy Friday! I am looking forward to time at home at the end of this rainy week. It seems to be a good weekend for a movie marathon. :)
Homework Update:
There will be no more written homework for the year. We will continue to review previously learned sight words at school. Please continue to have your child read each night!
Poet's Tea:
Our Poet's Tea will be Friday, May 25th from 10:30 - 11:25 am in our classroom. All families are welcome. I've told the kids the tea is a "fancy" event, so they are welcome to come to school in their fancy clothes that day. During the tea, the kids will each read at least one poem from their poetry anthologies. After, I will serve cookies, juice, and water. I sent home a food permission slip today; please kindly return it on Monday. You are welcome to stay and eat lunch with your child after the tea, or to keep him/her company during lunch. If you stay through our lunch period, please plan to say goodbye to your child at 12:02 pm in the cafeteria. This is when our lunch is over, and our normal instructional day resumes. As an aside, and for my planning purposes, if you know your child will not be in school on the day of the tea, will you kindly let me know?
First Grade Music Program:
A friendly reminder that our First Grade Music Program will be Wednesday, May 30th at 7:00 pm in the gym at school. Students should report to the cafeteria no later than 6:45 pm dressed in blue jeans and a white shirt. The students are working very hard in Music class to prepare for the program. They are excited to showcase their efforts!
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:

Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
- Reading: We will synthesize the good reader strategies we have learned this year as I continue to read aloud Charlotte's Web.
- Writing: We will finish our Poetry anthologies in anticipation of our Poet's Tea.
- Math: We will finish our Money unit. We will count groups of coins.
- Science: We will continue our study of plants. We will talk about what plants need to grow, identify the parts of a plant, discuss each part's function, and learn about the life cycle of a plant.
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
Have a super weekend! Stay dry!
