Animal Project
First Graders will be VERY busy in the coming weeks. Students are researching an animal and creating a variety of projects to show their understanding of its physical characteristics, habitat, food sources, and predators. Most of the work can be done in school. However, if your child wants to create a diorama or model of his or her animal they should plan to do this at home. Please help us out by asking often how your Firsies work is going.

Students can bring a show and tell with them on Monday. Please be sure they choose something that fits in their backpack.
Weekly Words and Sight Words
We will resume posting weekly and sight words next week. We are currently studying the hard and soft c/g sounds and -ed/-ing endings. Bossy R will also be introduced this week. After break our focus will be r-controlled (Bossy!) vowels.
Spring Fever
Our Firsties are restless! They are very much ready for the upcoming break. Unfortunately this means they’re very wound-up throughout the day. Behavior problems are cropping up frequently. Please help us out this week by trying to maintain a regular routine at home, ensuring enough sleep, and reminding your child that good behavior helps them learn.
