Rainforest projects and play

The students are really excited about thier rainforest projects. Students should be working on the research and visual components at home. Students are given opportunities to do research on the computers and IPAD'S at school. I will be sending out presentation dates soon. All first grade students will also be participating in a rainforest play on April 30th at 7:00 p.m. Please contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.

This week we will be beginning a new unit in mathematics on Geometry.  Please check out Mrs. Fernandez's Flipped Lessons for an introduction to three dimensional shapes. Students should be able to view the 2-3 minute video from a mobile device or home computer. Students are always given opportunities to watch teacher videos in class on IPAD's or school computers, if they are unable to view them at home. Be on the look out for student examples!
Field trip permission slips go home on Tuesday, March 26. Please return the form  by Friday, March 29th. We will be going to the Junior Museum on Thursday, April 4th. Please remember to send in a bagged lunch for that day.

Our first graders are Springing into Second Grade! We are working on increasing our reading fluency and reading comprehension. Please encourage your child to read everyday.  Take time to ask your child  questions about what they are reading. "Once you learn to read, you will be forever free."— Frederick Douglass
