Nature Center Field Trip
We
had such a wonderful time on our field trip this week. Thank you all who came and enjoyed the day with
us. For those of you who were unable to
make it, I have uploaded several pictures onto my classroom website
(mrshappelslittleapples.blogspot.com).
Click on the Classroom Pictures tab to view them.
Reading
We
only have 6 weeks of first grade left! Can you believe it? Please make reading
a priority at home. End of the year DRA
testing is approaching fast. Any
additional reading practice will greatly benefit your child.
Wonder Table
Now
that spring has finally arrived, I would love to update our wonder table. Keep an eye out for spring time items that we
can observe. Your child is invited to bring in budding flowers, interesting
plants, and yes…even insects (no spiders please)! All I am asking is that you
make sure all insects are in a secure container. We will observe them and then release them
outside. Keep your eyes open for signs
of spring!
