Happy Spring!!

Although the weather isn't always cooperative, there was a new smell this morning! Fresh, clean and full of spring promises. I cannot tell you how much I love your kids! They make each day amazing and wow! are they smart! Yesterday in math, they were full of amazing ideas on how to figure out patterns and what color would land on what number later on. Great thinking!

In regards to the math homework this month: We took some time off. Between activities, reading being done (or not done) at night, working hard in class and life in general, we took a break. Did your child continue to learn math and grow mathematically? Yes! We took our unit 7 assessment, we did learned and strategized every day how to solve problems. We practiced math facts. Look for the month of May math work on Monday: ).  

We have some activities coming up the remaining weeks! 
Friday, 5/6 - Fire Safety Trailer
Monday, 5/16 - BOGO Book Fair at 9:15
Wednesday, 5/25 - Field Trip (paper is coming home Monday!)

Monday, 5/30 - Memorial Day

For you future planners...
Monday, 6/13 - First Grade Mini Meet (field day) at 1:15

Have a fantastic weekend!
