We had so much fun celebrating St. Patrick's Day and showing off our leprechaun traps! I am sure you heard all about our visit from Lucky Leprechaun. Thank you for your help in making the traps creative, thoughtful and decorative. Unfortunately, we didn't catch a leprechaun, but there is always next year! Check out the amazing traps throughout the blog below.
Please Note
- We have a great crop of lettuces growing. We will have our first 'Lettuce Party' Tuesday afternoon. The children will have a chance to sample all of the yummy, healthy lettuces we have been growing. Be sure to ask them what their favorite type was! Once the plants regenerate themselves we will be sending samples home, too.
- The third trimester begins today. Report cards will be sent home next week.
- We will continue reviewing for the Terra Nova tests which will be taken next week. A schedule and some tips for taking standardized tests will be sent home this week. Attached to the schedule will be a blank letter and envelope. I ask that you please write your child an encouraging note that they will read Monday morning before we start the tests. This will hopefully calm any nerves that they may have. Please send the letter in by Friday at the latest. Thanks for your help with this. We try to keep it as low key and non-stressful as possible in first grade.
- We will start working with money later this week and I ask that you please send in some coins with your child in a ziplock bag marked with their name. If you could include 4 quarters, 10 dimes, 10 nickels and 10 pennies by Thursday that would be great. Thank you!
- There will be a test on time on Thursday. Review sheets will be sent home for homework.
- There will be a reading and spelling test on Friday.
