First Grade Newsletter and Pics 5/17/24

Good Afternoon! This has been a busy, busy week! We had the talent show, Firefighter Pete visited, a steel drum band and Dragon Day! We also got lots of our regular work done, too. We only got to about half of our dragon activities so I will spread the rest out throughout next week. We got to important ones, though! We made dragon masks, three different kinds of 3D paper dragons, got dragon stone necklaces and "real" dragons and ate dragon scales and claws while watching Puff the Magic Dragon.  It was so much fun!

Next week, we will be taking our end of the year NWEAs. We will take one Tuesday morning and one Wednesday morning. They only last about 30-45 minutes. Most of the kids actually enjoy taking them especially because they're on the computer. We also have our last FLEX Friday of this school year.

On Friday, May 31st we will be tie-dying t-shirts. Please send in one plain white t-shirt on or before this day. We'd LOVE to have some extra shirts in case someone forgets. If anyone would like to donate a pack, it would be much appreciated!

I was trying to get us to UMaine's Cow Barns but they are renovating and not allowing school visits this spring. If we go next year, I'll be sure to invite them to join us!
