Thank you!

Thank you for the thoughtful end of the year gift!  The gift card tree is so wonderful and I absolutely love it!  My husband, Chase and I will enjoy going to all of the restaurants and of course getting a few new things at the Cedarburg Toy Store!  Also, a BIG thank you our room parent - Jack's mom for taking the time to put it together for me (and everything else she did this school year - wow!).

I feel so lucky to work with so many amazing and thoughtful families!  Thank you for all of your support this school year.

I hope you have a great summer and I look forward to seeing you all next school year!  Please stop by and say hi!  Thanks again!

The school year has gone so fast, it is hard to believe that it is the last week!  This week, we will also be doing a few end of the year projects and reflecting about our first grade year.  We will be making a Memory Book and getting our friends autographs in our books.

In math, we will be continuing to review the concepts that we have learned this school year and we will play a few fun games too.

Thank you for a great year!  I hope you have a fun and safe summer!  Make sure to stop by next school year to say hi. :-)

June 4th Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This week we will be finishing up writing projects and doing some fun art projects too!  We will create summer reading lists and enjoy as many fun, interactive read alouds as we can before the very end!  Of course it is very important to keep reading to your child over the summer and have them continue to read at least 5-10 minutes as close to daily as possible.  Summer is a time for relaxing, and when your child sees you relaxing with a good book, it sends the message that you really do value and enjoy reading.

In writing we will review the different genres of writing we have learned about throughout the year (personal narrative, persuasive, how-to, fairy tales, realistic fiction, friendly letters and informational). The students will have opportunities to work on writing that we have studied over the course of the year. 

In math we will review many of the concepts we have learned throughout the school year.  No homework will be assigned this week in math.  Please continue practicing addition and subtraction facts over the summer, as well as all of the other important math concepts the children learned in first grade.
