First Grade Preview!

My computer CRASHED yesterday, and I was not able to print the preview! They are bringing a new computer first thing Monday morning, so I'll be able to send a letter home! Now that we've finished the readingn series, we'll be reviewing a lot of the concepts we have covered throughout the school year over the course of the next couple of weeks. I'm really excited to have this time to review!

Yesterday, we continued practicing the "oi/oy" sounds by writing words in soil! If you child came home with dirty hands, you now know the cause! I found this idea on a fun teacher blog I follow!



The students did a FABULOUS job with DIBELS testing this past week! I can't wait for you to see their scores!


Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Monday! We have had a lot going on in first grade! Our field trip to Oglebay Good Zoo was a blast! We had beautiful weather and the program we saw about habitats was very interesting! We continued discussing habitats today in class. You can find some more information about several habitats and animals that live in them on enchanted learning. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/rainforest/animals/Sampling.shtml

Today, "That Guy with the Birds" came to our school! He had a very interesting program and the birds were hilarious!!! Your child may be interested to check out his website: http://www.budwings.com/.
Here is a video with some of  the birds! One bird does a little bit of talking and funny laughing! Your child will definitely be curious to see this! http://www.wqed.org/ondemand/onq.php?id=10. (You'll probably have to copy the link and paste it into your browser.)

 I'm doubtful that we will have Field Day tomorrow due to the wet conditions, but we will see!

Have a great night!
