Update June 2nd

*Thank you for coming into school on Friday for the Excellence Fair.  It was so great to see how proud and excited the kids were to show you their hard work from this year.  I'm so grateful to see such incredible progress in first grade.  Grade one can be a challenging year, most students learn to read in first grade, but is it so rewarding to see their pride at the end of the school year.  I've enjoyed working with all of your kids and learning about your families this year.  I hope you will stay in touch throughout the years.  My first class is graduating from Westford Academy this year- it sure goes by fast!

*On Tuesday, the 5th grade chorus from Crisafulli will come to perform for the kindergarten, pre-1st and first grade students.  This is always a treat!

*On Wednesday, we have a speaker coming to school to present "The Secret of Kindness."

*We will begin to learn about American Symbols over the next two weeks.  We will talk about what a symbol is and learn about the White House, Bald Eagle, Liberty Bell, Statue of Liberty and the American Flag.

*In Math, we will finish up learning about coins (counting collections of coins.)  We will also play math games to reinforce math concepts.

*We will finish up our Father's Day projects this week too.

*This will be the last week for spelling homework.  I will no longer be sending home math homework for the year.
