Weekly Update

Hi Everyone,

What a way to end the week!  Thank you to those of you able to attend our Poet's Tea today. It is hands-down my favorite event of the year.  I am heading into this long weekend feeling bittersweet...so pleased with how far the kids have come; so sad it's almost time to say goodbye.  

First Grade Music Program:
Our Music Program is Wednesday, May 30th at 7 pm in the Pinebrook gym.  Your child should arrive to the Pinebrook cafeteria no later than 6:45 pm wearing blue jeans and a white shirt.  You may drop your child at our lunch table in the cafeteria, and then proceed to the gym to find your seat.  After the program, I will return to the our lunch table with the kids; please pick your child up from the cafeteria.

Field Day:
Our 1st Grade Field Day will be Tuesday, June 5th from 8:15 am - 12:00 pm. During Field Day, students rotate through various stations set up by our PE teachers, Mr. McPherson and Mr. Lose.  Some stations are inside, some are outside, and some involve water play.  Please watch next week's Thursday folder for specific information about how to prepare for Field Day.

End of Year Celebration:
Our 1st Grade End of Year Celebration will be Friday, June 8th at 11:30 am in our classroom. All families are invited.  More details and a food permission slip to follow.  

Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
  • Reading:  We will continue reading Charlotte's Web, which is becoming a class favorite!
  • Writing:  We will work on a 1st Grade Memories book.
  • Math:  We will continue our measurement unit.
  • Science:  We will finish 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.  Students will bring home their plants.
Enjoy your long weekend!  Please remember to stop and reflect on the meaning of Memorial Day.  The sacrifices made by our service members and their families must never be forgotten.

I hope to see you at our Music Performance on Wednesday!

Have a great weekend!
