I really did send your child's third quarter grades home today. Please let me know if you see any discrepancies on your child's print out. Notice the amount of absences and tardies your child has accrued. We start reading groups right at 9:00 and if you child is tardy, they are missing out on valuable small group instruction that cannot be made up during the day.
Today we went down to the gym to practice for our little program that will be held this Friday during the AR assembly at 2:00 and then again at 2:45. Remember you are welcome to come and watch the first grade sing a song. I have outlined our program in previous newsletters so I will not do that again today.
We have another new student--Chevelle Mitchell. She has recently moved here from Grand Junction, Colorado, but her mother told me that her father grew up here in good old Cedar City! She is a wonderful girl, and again it amazes me how well new students assimilate into my class this year. I think it's because I have such a wonderful bunch of first graders!
Mr. Burton wanted me to remind you of Kindergarten registration tomorrow. It will be held from 12:00-3:00. If you have a child that will be entering kindergarten next year or know of someone in our boundaries that will have a child entering kindergarten please register tomorrow. This helps us get a good estimate on enrollment for next year.
Easter is just around the corner and we've planned our annual first grade Easter Egg hunt. We will be joining Mrs. Wininger's class for an Easter egg hunt at Canyon Park on Tuesday, April 15 at 2:00 pm. For the Easter egg hunt, we are asking that if possible that each child donate one dozen plastic candy-filled eggs. They now have pre-filled plastic eggs at the store which are convenient, but you don't need to purchase those. Please tape the eggs together with scotch tape, otherwise they pop open. If you you can help us please send those eggs by Monday, April 14th. We will combine our eggs with Mrs. Wininger's class and then allow the children to find the same amount of eggs. I could also use a couple of parent volunteers to help get the eggs to the park and "hide" them for us. If you could help with that please let me know.
We are busy trying to fit all that we need to fit in before the end of the year. In math I will test on Unit 9 this Thursday. Make sure that you help your child with their Unit 9 math homework before that date! We have started our maps unit, and will soon start learning about Force and Motion. Then we'll finish the year off with plants and life cycles.
Our 100 book challenge is still ongoing. Remember your child has 9 more weeks to complete that challenge. If your child reads for five days a week, and reads 2 books a time they can easily accomplish this wonderful achievement! We started this in early January so we've had plenty of time and opportunity finish this by the end of the year.
Happy Reading!
