Update May 21st

*The students will be working hard this week to prepare for our Excellence Fair on Friday at 2:15pm.  They are very proud of the work they picked out to highlight their strengths in first grade.  When you come into the classroom on Friday, I'll ask that you visit with your own child and view their work.  Also, I'll leave sticky notes and pens on the reading table so you and your child can view other student's work and leave them "notes" of praise.  If you or another adult are not able to come on Friday, please send me an email ahead of time.  We look forward to seeing you then!

*On Monday, we will have a short assembly about water safety put on by the Goldfish Swim School.  
*Tuesday is our last School Store of the school year.  I recommend sending no more than $1-$2.

*On Friday, we will have a Memorial Day Assembly at 9:30.  We are extending a welcome to any heroes of the military, police or fire  to join us for this assembly.  Friday will also be a USA Spirit Day at Robinson.  Students may dress in patriotic clothing (red, white, blue.)

*Excellence Fair at 2:15pm on Friday!

*We will have another busy week at school (thankfully cooler than last week!)  Please remember to send water bottles into school with students.  It can get very hot in our classrooms and we take frequent water breaks.  Students are able to refill water bottles in the classroom using the faucet or in the cafeteria using our water filling station.  

*Over the next week, we will be finishing up big concepts and assessing student's knowledge in different areas.  Take a peek at last week's blog to see more information about what the class will be engaged in after this week.  There is still plenty of work for them to do!

*We will finish our last math lesson on Monday.  This lesson is about equal shares.  The remainder of the week in math will be spent on assessing student's math knowledge on the End of Year Math Assessment.  This assessment is quite lengthy, however I expect the students will be very successful in sharing their math knowledge.  Due to the length of the assessment, we will take three days to administer it, so students are not feeling too much stress over it.

*We'll finish our study of the Sun, Moon and Stars by learning about Stars this week!  We will go on a stargazing trip in class.

*Most students have finished up their Non-Fiction Books and are so proud of their work.  Everyone will have time to finish up this week.

*This is our last week for weekly spelling words.  Students will have their last spelling check-in on Friday!

Looking Ahead:

Monday, May 29th- No School

Wednesday- May 31st- Field Day

Friday, June 2nd- Mrs. Conway's Last Day
