HOORAY FOR THE U.S.A.!
We
cannot thank you enough for the hard work you have done over the past
month to help us prepare for this amazing production! This week's blog
is full of pictures of our famous Americans! Of course, we have still
been hard at work learning in first grade. We have continued teaching the hard concept of time in
Math this week and we continued to listen to your children read. It is amazing to see
exactly how much they have grown since the start of the year. Most of
all; we have been busy practicing to get ready for the big performance.
Your children are wonderful. They have learned so much and been so happy
while doing it. We could not do it
without our parents. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
CENTERS
THIS WEEK we did a little different...we let each child pick which
center they want to go to and they didn't have a tic-tac-toe board to
follow. They enjoyed not having a must do.
