Happy Friday!

We had a very busy week and are getting ready to start yet another busy, fun week! I can't wait for next week. It is so much fun to have time to review concepts we have been learning through the use of games and seasonal activities! Students will be reviewing the long vowel spelling patterns and taking dictation quizzes to demonstrate their knowledge of the patterns. We have some fun stations ahead as well as a few interesting writing projects! Next week we will be taking the Unit 5 Skills Test since we have completed Unit 5. Where is the time going? Our spelling test will consist of 10 of the 15 sight words listed on the First Grade Preview. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of students knowing how to spell their sight words this year and in years to come!

My favorite "spring" activity of all time is having students fill eggs and seeing if we are able to guess what happens to be inside the egg. We will get to complete this activity on Wednesday.  On Monday, I can't wait to see students dress "foolishly." I have a couple of April Fool's Day tricks up my sleeve!

Don't forget about the Book Order that is due on Wednesday!


Have a wonderful weekend!
