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.

End of Year Fun:
We will have some surprise end-of-year spirit days in our classroom beginning next Friday, May 31st. I will tell the kids each day what the next day's theme will be. These will be fun things such as Stuffed Animal Day, Pajama Day, etc.

End of Year Celebration:
We will have a 1st Grade End of Year Celebration Luau on Wednesday, June 5th from 10:30 am -12:30 pm. All 1st grade classes will participate in this celebration. We will enjoy a picnic lunch of cheese pizza, Oreoes, apples, and water. I sent a food permission form home in yesterday's Thursday folder. We are in need of volunteers and supplies to help make our luau a fun and memorable experience. Please click HERE to find out how you can help.
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 reviewing previously learned concepts.
- 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.
