Week of March 7, 2022

-The second trimester closes this Friday and I can assure you that this last trimester will FLY by. In this final trimester, we really focus on responsibility, independence and self control. We talk a lot about being "almost second graders" and what being in second grade entails. One of the best parts of teaching first grade is seeing the growth that each child makes in 9 short months. Thinking back from September until now they are completely different kids! I am sure you see it too.

-This week is Terra Nova week.  They had a great day 1.  We will be taking different parts of the test each day thru Thursday. 

- There will be no homework this week.  Getting to bed early should be easier this way. :-)

- We will be building our leprechaun traps next week so don't forget to be collecting supplies!

-Have great week!
