Dear Families,

Well we survived our first week of Distance Learning.  Thank you for all of your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions just let us know.  

Google Classroom will look a little different this week. Instead of everything in one folder, we have listed the materials and assignments under each subject. Start by looking at the weekly plans at the top. Everything you need will be under the subject headings. If you are not able to print the pages, go ahead and write the information on a piece of paper. We are definitely learning as we go!  Work will be posted Sunday evenings at 5:00. 

We would like you to TRY to return work to us via Google Classroom, if possible. Watch for an email with specific directions for posting work on Google Classroom. It’s actually a video that you can watch. In the long run, this will be easier for everyone. You can turn in work all at once on Friday or daily if you choose.

For math, we will be using an app called Freckle. Please see below for instructions on signing in. Our hope is that you’ll have to print less, but we can keep moving forward with our Math concepts. We would also like the children to continue focusing on the flashcards sent each week as well.

To sign onto Freckle go to student.freckle.com.  It will then ask you to put in your class code.  

1A use code 5b7g6w

1B use code kurteb

1D use code ybj3m7

Once you have put in the code find your name and select that pig.  Then select Math and either choose Number Facts or Fact Practice. Follow the online directions from there.  We are planning for you doing only 1-2 sessions each day.

Have a great weekend!

The First Grade Team

The 1^st and 3^rd grade students did an amazing job preparing for the program. It was so enjoyable! They all worked so hard this week.

There is no school next week, March 9^th-16^th. Enjoy your spring break!

There is mass the following Wednesday, March 18^th, at 8:30.

Thank you for your help with the math facts! I will keep the flashcard bag until after Spring Break. I don’t want anyone to worry about losing the bag. I am sending the word list book home to keep until after Spring Break. The children will be tested on them at the end of the quarter.

The week after Spring Break we will be working on the Social Studies assessment.

The date for the Zoo field trip is Monday, May 4th for those of you who want to plan ahead. We can take as many parent volunteers that want to go, as long as you’ve had the safe environment training! You don’t need to let me know yet if you want to help! I’ll send a separate note, as we get closer.

Have a wonderful spring break!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Wilson
