First and Second Grade News – June 5, 2015

Dear Families,

We have only 6 ½ school days left of the year!  The students have worked hard this week to complete many assessments and wrap up a variety of different projects.  Next week we will finish writing narrative books and making Eric Carle-like illustrations for these books.  We will also begin the classroom cleaning process, so please make sure students have backpacks to bring home all their classroom treasures. 

It is “house cleaning” time and we would ask that you please carefully check your home for any books or supplies that belong here at school.  Specifically, we are looking for classroom books, library books, and coins that students may have earned for working hard, being safe, or being kind.  We will also be collecting students’ book bags at the end of the year.

Dear Families,

           

We had a fantastic hike yesterday up to Chickering Bog.  All of us learned so much new plant, tree and bog information from our research and our amazing chaperones.  Thank you to all of you who took the day to join us!  For those who took Tuesday and couldn’t make it yesterday, our apologies.  The weather could not have been better for keeping the bug count down. 

We have most permission slips back for our two fieldtrips this coming week. If you are joining us for the Montshire Museum trip please be here by 8:50.  We will be back to school by 3:15.

We are winding down in all of our core subjects.  Students are busy working on their “image making” narrative stories.  We will be assessing students in the coming two weeks in reading, writing and math.  Our students have all made excellent progress this year!  Please keep up the reading this summer.

On that note, please look for any school books at home especially classroom texts for reading.  We depend on these teaching materials.  Thanks!
