Wow...it has been far too long since I have written a post. My apologies! Since the last time I posted we have had conferences, a week off and have started preparing for an on-site field trip and our kindergarten program. Our days are busy! Thank you to each of you for making it to conferences. This is the first time in my 7 years of teaching I had ALL parents show up. It was great to talk with you about your child's progress and the things expected for first grade. All of the kids are excited for the forthcoming transition. In our daily routines we talk about first grade expectations and are busy preparing for the move. It will be here before we know it. Talking about time flying...here are some upcoming events you will want to put on your calendar and plan ahead for:
March 29th- Gardening Presentation
March 31st- Scholastic Book Order Due (this will be the last one for the year)
April 15th- On-site Zoo Trip
April 15th- Daddy/Daughter Dance
April 20th- PTO Meeting
April 28th- Kindergarten Program 6pm
We are asking for a $4.00 donation per child for our zoo trip. Since they are bringing live animals from the PHX Zoo there is a cost tied to the presentation. If you have not donated please do so by March 31st. If you are not able to donate, please let me know so we can work out covering the cost. Thanks!
In class we have been busy doing "first grade" work that consists of weekly journal writing, decoding/blending words, DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) Time and number sentences with addition. Your kids are on track and doing well! We have also been busy practicing songs to sing for our kindergarten program. You will not want to miss it! There will be an invitation going home soon, but please tell family and friends to join us. Well, as we approach the end of the year things will continue to be busy and full of fun. Thanks for your support with all that is going on!
