Friday is here!!!

Happy Friday families! We had a better day today in first grade, although there was a lot of exctiement as we approach our State Testing next week for our third and fourth graders. We had a wild assembly this afternoon with singing and pinatas, so the kids were officially wound up on their way home. They should sleep well tonight! In all of the activity of this afternoon, the kids did not get a chance to pick up their mail, so Friday Home folders will have to come home on Monday. Thank you for understanding. We completed our Science/Art project today. Have your first grader tell you about what they have learned about ocean animals. Next week will be learning about ponds and streams as we approach Earth Day, then it is on to the desert, jungle and savanna. I love or habitat unit!!! If your child has a large amount of paperwork coming home stuffed in their backpack it is because we had a big desk clean out today. The work that your child is bringing home is work they did not finish in class. You may want to choose several pieces to work on at home for extra skill work. Be sure to get out and enjoy the upcoming beautiful weekend. With the weather changing, we have seen some tummy aches and sore throats. Please help your child get plenty of rest as they adjust to their spring schedules so that we can have continued success in our classroom! Thank you so much. Have a great weekend! Looking ahead to next week, here is our Specials rotation: Monday = D Tuesday= A Wednesday= B Thrusday= C Friday= D
