Happy Friday!  We had a fun Friday today.  The costumes looked wonderful, and Declan and his mom sent in cute Halloween treat bags.  We also got to do math with candy corn. This week in phonics we worked on the magic “e” and next week we will work on syllable types.  In reading we worked on monster book and retelling and adjectives.  For writing we wrote our own informational pieces.  In math we worked on subtraction within 20 and next week will work on place value numbers 20 to 120.   In science we are working on sound with a STEM project: Rock Band.  The students have worked hard on writing their songs and making their instruments.  We hope to make our music videos on Wednesday.  If you have not done so already check out the drama stick puppets videos on Seesaw.

It was great to see everyone yesterday for our last day in the building!

I just want to take a moment and thank you for sharing your wonderful children with me this year. They have made my life so much brighter and they have taught me so much. I hope that I was able to teach them a lot too.

I can’t believe the year is over. I was so lucky to be your first grade teacher. Remember to work hard and you will go far.

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe summer and come back and visit me next year.

If you get a chance email me a picture of the adventures that you are having this summer or post them on Seesaw!

Take Care! See you soon!

This will be our last week of focused, academic assignments. I emailed assignments tonight. Next week, we will do common activities as a student body, as we would do if we were together in our building.

I am still working and planning at home and will continue to reach out via email and Zoom.

Don’t forget to book at time to come up to Rocky Mount (Wednesday – Thursday) this week to pick up your child’s supplies and return media center books.

Have a great week!

We all miss seeing you each day.

I encourage you to continue to work hard but also enjoy time with your family.
