Happy Friday!
I hope everyone has had a great week! We packed a lot into just a few days! We've been working on comprehension/retelling strategies, wrapping up our opinion writing, practicing our poems, following the Iditarod, and finishing up our work in Geometry! Next week we'll be doing some more exploration about the weather, working with coins, learning some more poems, and beginning some narrative writing.
Our Mystery Reader this week was Dr. Hal Cohen! He is a general practitioner and a theater friend of Mr. and Mrs. Cole.
These are our Poem Pockets! Thank you for helping us practice our poems at home! Our Poetry Reading will take place on Friday, March 22nd at 2PM. We'll view our 120 Museum in our classroom first, then go to the cafeteria to recite our class poems and then break into small ensembles to share our individual poems.
We have had a blast following the mushers' progress in the Iditarod!
Also, there is no school for students next Friday-it is a teachers' workshop day.
Parent-teacher conferences have been launched in PTCFast. If your child has had recently, or will soon have an IEP meeting, that may be used as the conference if you wish. If none of the dates and times listed work for you, we can find a different one. I will know my further availability better after March 22.
We're busy practicing our songs for the First Grade Spring Concert! Please be at WHS by 6:15 so that we can help the kids find their spots and I can take a group photo. I will find out at our rehearsal that morning where our class will be standing, and will send home an email that afternoon to let you know. :) https://wps.rsu14.org/apps/news/article/1006199
Spring pictures will be taken on Thursday the 21st- a flyer went home in Eagle News today.
Have a terrific weekend! I'm going to spend some time with my family, visit my horse, and pack for my next NEA work session in Denver next weekend. I hope you all have some wonderful time together.
:)
