Dear Families,

Wow! 1D is amazing. They did such a great job at our Memories and Munchies Wednesday afternoon. They worked so hard and were so excited to show you. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you to everyone who helped with munchies.

It is hard to believe we are doing things for the last time and finishing up subjects and projects. Where did the time go?

I know this is hard to believe, but this will be your last newsletter from me this year!!! I have loved having your child in my class this year. We have become a little family and it is hard to believe they are moving on. I hope you all have a wonderful summer. Stop by and see me next year.

Here is the schedule our next week…

We will be celebrating our fun year of Science with various Science stations. Thank you to all the parents who are able to help us out Monday morning.

Students may dress down and bring outside toys to play with at Bowling Green Park. Each student needs to bring a lunch for this day. We will be eating outside on this day. Lunch will not be available for first grade. You may want to send a water bottle. Sunscreen is also a good idea!

I will be sending things home each day next week so please watch for things in backpacks. It is helpful if you clean the bags out each night to make room for more! Word List books were sent home yesterday these can be kept at home. I will be testing these words next week.

I want to take this opportunity to wish all of the moms a wonderful Mother’s Day. You are very important to your children. Thank you for all that you do!

Have a wonderful weekend!
