Mid Week Check-In

Happy Wednesday! We have officially pushed our end of the year chaos button already. We are busy, busy, busy! Tomorrow we will be hosting all Kindergarteners for a "Mock First Grade" experience. Our first graders will have an opportunity to be a first grade leader for our Kindergarten friends. Please encourage your first grader to be a good role model tomorrow for the Kindergarteners that they will host. Did your first grader bring home a note about Flower Day yesterday? If you could provide your first grader with a BLUE flower, we will be planting our patriotic garden on Friday. We would love to have any blue annuals brought to school tomorrow. I had to get flowers for my daughter and found a 6-pack of bluish/purplish flowers for $1.68 at Walmart. It is our hope that each first grader will have an opportunity to plant something in our raised flower bed on Friday. Thank you so much for your continued help and support. In math we have been working with 100's charts, continuing telling time to the half hour and fractions. Extra practice and review at home helps a great deal! Thank you so much for all you do. We read our non-fiction story today "At the Crayon Factory". Your child should be able to tell you a step-by-step process of how crayons are made. It is pretty interesting! Looking ahead, here are some important events/days coming up. Mark your calendars! 1. Today = Dominoes Pizza Night 2. Thursday= Mock First Grade (host Kindergarten) 3. Friday= Movie Night! 4.
