Hi Families,
Thank you so much for all of your generosity during teacher appreciation week. I am humbled by your kindness. I sure do appreciate you and your kiddos! We started reading The Wild Robot Escapes. The kids LOVE it! It's a great time of year for a read aloud. The kids can sit back and listen to reading without...
sequencing, story mapping, finding the main idea, identifying characters and setting, identifying the problem and solution, stating the cause and effect, authors purpose, character traits, plot, point of view, and story structure. Phew!

Dance Class:
Dance class so fun! Mrs. Nicole, our dance teacher is fantastic. Our performance is on June 4th at the main building. If you know your child will not be at school of that day, please let me know as soon as possible so we can have another first grader practice the dance with our class as every child will need a partner.
I am in need of at least 2 dads and 2 moms to help us get fancy the day of our performance. We will need help putting on bow ties (they are clip on ) and feather headbands. Helpers are needed between 9:30 and 9:45ish. Please let me know if you can help out.
