Welcome Spring!

Although today is the official first day of spring, the weather outside this past week certainly made it feel like spring has been here a while. I have missed my sweet little first grade friends and can’t wait to hear all about everyone’s exciting spring break adventures! 

Reading – This week our focus sound will be /p/ as in pig and /ay/ as in hay. Our word wall words are":  picking, stop, then, four.

Language – Rule 24 Add ed to some words to show that something has already happened. 

Math – We will begin Chapter 24 this week learning about telling time. 

Please remember that children in grades 3-6 will be taking standardized tests for the next two weeks.  Please help by making sure your child is at school on time.  Our schedule will be a little off on the days that children are testing.

Report Cards come home Thursday, March 24th.  Please sign the highlighted copy and keep the other copy for your records.

If you know anyone who has a child entering Kindergarten next year please tell them about the school wide Kindergarten Open House this Thursday, March 24 from 5:30-7:00 pm.  Each school in our system will hold this open house for students and their parents that are entering kindergarten next year. I hope lots of new Blount Aviators will get a chance to see their new school.

Don’t forget that your child needs to read and take an AR test on at least three books this week. 

I love teaching your fabulous first graders!! Let me know if you  have any questions!

Hugs!!
