Hi again

We're working on telling time in math. All first graders are responsible for being able to tell time to the hour and 1/2 hour on both digital and analog clocks. Second graders are responsible for telling time to the 1/4 hour. Please work on this skill at home.

With the beautiful spring weather of course comes allergies. If you are going to give your child an allergy medication of any kind, please make sure it doesn't make them drowsy. I have some friends who are falling asleep in class!

We are going to have our last field trip of the year in May. We'll be heading once again to the Freedom Center Swimming pool. Make sure those swim shorts are ready!

This week starts our spring testing season. I can't stress enough how important it is to have your child in bed early and eating a great breakfast. These scores follow them and are used to show their growth over the year.

We have been given a little patch of earth to work in for the spring and so the boys, Mrs. Rice, Mrs. Robertson, and I have been busy weeding at school once a week for a little while and planting a variety of seeds. We're excited to see what might start happening. In addition, we are getting ready to see our caterpillars turn into butterflies in our own butterfly garden in the classroom once again. Each boy has their own and have named them: Sunny, Carey, Gary, Blake, and George. Can you guess the name that your child came up with?

Remember, no school for students May 4th for it's a teacher work day :-)


Enjoy your week! And for those that need it, my home phone is back to being functional....for today at least.
