The kids are wound up and ready for their Spring Break! We wrapped up our third quarter with our math post test. The kids did a WONDERFUL job! Please find time to celebrate your child and ALL of the amazing things they have learned in three quarters of first grade. It is unbelievable that we only have one quarter left before they graduate on to second grade. Boo hoo hoo!

This week we wrote letters to the tooth fairy. Come by our room to read your child's letter. Many of them have very HIGH hopes for their tooth fariy treats...just thought you'd like to know! :)

In math, we had some fun with St. Patty's Day. We used Lucky Charms cereal to create graphs. Edible math is always a hit! Ask your child to tell you what symbol in their cereal bowl was their most popular. We also used symmetry to create symmetrical leprachauns. These projects are coming home for you to admire today.

You may notice that your child brought home a great deal of unfinished paperwork in their backpack. We did a MAJOR desk clean-out today and emptied out our work folders. All of the work from 3rd quarter that did not get finished is now Spring Break homework. Please continue to encourage your child to try hard to get their work completed and handed in on time, as this is an essential second grade skill and we are well on our way! WOW!

A few look ahead dates:

*April 12--Art Walk, 7pm

*April 21--First Grade Musical

*April 25--NO SCHOOL

*April 29--Carnival, 5-8pm


I hope you have a wonderful, safe and restful Spring Break. Keep your kids reading and learning. We are on the final stretch of our journey when they return on the
21st!
