April 20

Some things we did this week:
  • Performed our Readers' Theatre plays with our reading groups
  • Continued work on writing reviews 
  • Learned about why animals come back after migration
  • Spent time talking about recycling and conservation, with emphasis on what we can do as a class and what your families could try
  • Practiced our math fluency to 10
  • Jump for Heart fun
  • Earth day activities: Raptor show, simulated oil spill and clean up and water walk in which we learned how tough it is to carry water the way kids in Burkina Faso have to. Your kids should sleep well after all the activities! 
Some things to ask your child:
  • Any big "Loon News" this week? (Spoiler alert: the loons are back in NH!!!!) 
  • How can we help take care of earth? 
  • What was the best thing you did this week? (I heard a few "this is the best day of my life!" comments on Friday 😆)
  • How do animals get cleaned off after oil spills? 
  • What kinds of birds did you see at the raptor show?
  • What play did your group perform? 
Important Dates:
  • Mark your calendars! First Grade presents...
    • FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD HELPERS on Tuesday, May 8th at 6:30 pm on the cafeteria stage.  Roles were sent home on Monday. 
  • Monday June 4th Grandparent Lunch
  • 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.
