Some things to ask your child:
  • What are some attributes of a sphere? cube? pyramid?
  • What was your STEAM challenge?
  • What did you work on in IXL?
  • How did the classroom change this week? (My cabin fever is kicking in and the room gets rearranged almost every other day)
Important Dates:
  • Mark your calendars! First Grade presents...
    • FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD HELPERS on Tuesday, May 8th at 6:30 pm on the cafeteria stage.  Stay tuned more details in the next few weeks.
  • END OF YEAR CELEBRATION AT STRATHAM HILL PARK.
    • On Tuesday, June 12th (am only) all first grade students will hike to Stratham Hill Park to celebrate a great year together.  We would love for you to join us! Specifics of the field trip will be on the permission slip and sent home next month.
The garden committee is still looking for rinsed gallon milk jugs! Please send in any empty containers to school during the next few weeks. The garden committee is looking to plan some earth friendly activities for Earth Day on 4/20. One of the stations was inspired by our Water Princess market. They are planning a water walk where students will practice walking with water as a group and learn how difficult it can be to move clean water from one place to another.
