Cinco De Mayo Celebration and End Of The year

Please remember to send in chips and salsa for our Cinco de Mayo Celebration. Thank you to the parents who have volunteered to help us on this exciting day. The end of the school year is approaching and we still have much work to do. Please remind your child that their is much work to be done before they are second graders. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Field Trip

Please remember to send in a bagged lunch for tomorrows field trip. Please try to send in all disposable things so your child will not have to carry anything with them while on the field trip. If you would like to join us you can meet us at The Tallahassee Museum at 10:00 a.m. We will be leaving at 1:00 p.m. Hope to see you there!

Field Trip

We are excited about our second semester field trip to the Tallahassee Junior Museum! Our trip will be Wednesday, April 2^nd.  We will arrive at the Museum around 10 am and leave at 1 pm. We will have lunch and recess on site.

First grade will split into two groups. One group will begin exploring Florida’s natural habitat and the animals that we can find throughout Florida. Our second group will begin exploring and discussing schools, stores, and Florida living from long ago. After lunch the groups will switch activities and continue to explore!

Please remember, like all field trips, to send a bag lunch full of healthy options. Make sure everything is disposable because students will not be able to bring anything back to school.

This field trip is exciting for us all because it’s interactive at every turn and allows for amazing discussions on site and back at school.

We look forward to another fun-filled, successful field trip full of learning and inquiry.

Save the Date

 It’s time for our annual Rainforest Show! Each year, our first grade children put together and practice parts for a performance on The Rainforest. This play is an additional, exciting way to study The Rainforest. Our students learn songs and poems about different animals found in the rainforest, as well as practice for speaking parts in the show. It takes a lot of work and dedication of both teachers and students, but through it all, the students are so proud of their production!

Each student has been asked by Mrs. Mason to bring in a pair of sunglasses for the “Recycle Rap”. Please send in the sunglasses no later than Monday the 10^th.

Their performance is on Thursday, March 13^th at 7:00 pm in our cafeteria. Students need to report to their classroom promptly at 6:30. Students will wear jeans and a plain shirt, either yellow or green. We are looking forward to seeing each one of you there, so that we can all share in our children’s success!

100th Day Of School

Thursday is the 100th day of school. Please remember to send students with their individual items to count. We will be participating in fun 100th day math activities!

Homework Help

Our students are working hard on how to understand the concept of ones and tens. If your child requires additional help with homework please check out http://www.hmhco.com/GoMathAcademy.
on the left hand side there is a search bar that says keywords. You can always type whatever topic we are learning in this book. For this chapter it would be good to search for Understand Tens and Ones or Make Tens and Ones. Please contact me if you need additional resources fro your child and be on the look out fro additional resources and videos in my flipped learning section. 

Happy New Year!

I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! We are half way to second grade...Can you believe it! January will bring new adventures in learning. Students will continue to be challenged and motivated to be successful. Please encourage your child to read each and every day.
