We are looking forward to our field trip tomorrow to Jon's Market. We plan to leave school at 8:15, arriving around 8:30. The children will tour the store and pick out their morning snack. The manager will have a register open for our class to line up and pay for their snacks. Our goal is to be back at school no later than 10:00 and at that time the children can enjoy the delicious snack they bought! Thank you to the following student's parents who will walk with us and help ensure a safe walk: Madison, Dion, Alyssa, Sebastien H., Glenn, Emma, Sebastian C., Daniel, Trinity, Joel, Laura, and Denisse. With this number of parents, we almost have a one-on-one ratio of student to parent, which will be a big help as we walk. We are excited about the first graders practicing what they learned in Math and applying it to a "real Life" situation!
As part of our "Good Touch, Bad Touch" lesson, the children are bringing home a booklet called "Who Am I?" Please help them complete it and return it tomorrow. If you opted out of our "Good Touch, Bad Touch" lesson, your child went to another classroom for the duration of the lesson, but the booklet we are sending home is an assignment we would like for everyone to complete.

This will be a busy and fun week in first grade! Reminder...school dismisses at 12:15 on Wednesday, April 4 for the start of our spring break; after school care will be available. We resume school on Monday, April 16, at which time the Lenten Good Deeds Chart is due.
If your child did not bring in 2 hard boiled eggs today, they can still bring them in tomorrow. Thank you to all of you who brought in Easter candy, non-perishable goods, baby wipes, and paper towels. Your generosity and kindness is greatly appreciated.
Since this is a short week, we will not be opening up Theme 8 in our Reading Program, so there will not be any new Spelling or High Frequency words this week. We will continue with our program when we return from Easter break. This week, we will be learning all about Holy Week and doing some fun Easter projects.

They may keep the report at home to practice their presentation, but it must be brought back on Friday. They will be able to refer to it while presenting.
The children are bringing home their mini rain forests today. They all did an outstanding job, and it was fun and interesting to observe them!
Please see "Language Arts" for our new words for this week.

We will not be introducing new words this week, due to the fact that this is a short week (reminder....school is closed Friday for a teacher in-service); and there will be no homework assigned tomorrow night due to the Science Fair. We hope that you will be able to go to the Science Fair, which begins at 7:00 p.m. in the parish hall. Come see all of the first graders' beautiful rain forests! You will be amazed at all the research they have been doing!
Please see "Language Arts" for exciting activities for the students to do at home. Follow the prompts listed.
This will give them a head start on our story next week ,"If You Give A Pig A Pancake".
