You have probably already noticed that your child is ready for summer vacation, but we can make it until Wednesday, May 28, at 12:30 PM. (May 28th will be our last day of school for the 2013-2014 school year!)
Your child will be bringing home most— if not, all of his/her school supplies today--Tuesday, May 27th.
On the last day of school (Wednesday), your child will receive his/her grade card–if all lunch charges, Tiger Tales charges, library books returned, etc. So, your child WILL need his/her backpack. We will also reminisce over our year together.

In Writer's Workshop the next few weeks, we will be learning more about Informational Writing. As a class, we will "research" a few topics together before we go off on our own. One topic that we will learn more about together is BATS. The students made Hand-art Bats to hang in the hallway, but many students wanted the pattern to make more bats at home. Click here for the bat pattern.

First Day of School
We had a wonderful time getting to know each other. We have 10 girls and boys in our class.
Thank you looking at your child’s Communication Folder (Red). Each child has a calendar in his/her communication folder which has a stamp for the kind of day that your child has here at school. Example–Green means a good day. Yellow means that he/she had to have few reminders to follow the school rules.
Thank you, in advance, for your help throughout the coming school year. We are looking forward to a great time together in first grade.
