March 23rd-26th

Greetings from our classroom! Spring has arrived and First Grade has composed a poem to celebrate. They will also be crafting a nest with chicks to complement their poems. 

We will be finishing up our reading lessons and starting a new one mid -week. Both classes will be re-exploring the Biography genre. If you have any biographies at home please share them with your young scholar pointing out that they tell a person's life story usually from birth to their death focusing on their main contributions to mankind. 

In Math both grades will be testing next week and beginning a new Unit. 

First Grade will be learning about geometry and measurement while our Second Graders will be focusing on 3-digit addition and subtraction! 

Please note that I have added buttons below the header (above) that will take you to your child's Spelling Word Lists. 


Happy Dr. Seuss Month!

March 9th-March 12th

Greetings to you all! This week we will be finishing up our Reading lessons and taking the lesson tests. 1st Grad will begin a new lesson, genre informational text, about where food comes from. I challenge you to have discussions with you children where their food does come from. 2nd Graders will be diving into the Realistic Fiction genre and learning to Never Give Up!
