I forgot to mention that library books are due. Please return them by next Tuesday. Thank you!

Please check the other entry for today’s date  for more information on what is happening in the classroom.

I”m sitting here exhausted after a warm, busy day at the Environmental Center. I hope your children had a great time! I know I did. If you look at their packets with them, you’ll know all about the trip! Thank you so much to Mrs. Dovenspike, Mrs. Flickinger, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Swartley for braving the woods with us today!

Tomorrow is field day. Please send your child in sneakers and with sunscreen once again.

Next Tuesday you will receive the permission slip for our picnic which will be on June 7th.

Hard to believe we are 7 days away from the last day of school. What a joy it has been working with your children this year!

We are still busy learning about how poems are different from stories. See if your child can tell you about alliteration!

In word work we are previewing long vowel sounds in anticipation of second grade. Next week in writing we will be publishing one last story. Ask your child to tell you about the persuasive piece of writing we did recently! (We wrote a letter to Mrs. Benner requesting a silly band and baseball day!)

We completed our end of year math test this week. Next week we will be reviewing fractions and time.

Have a wonderful long weekend!
