First Grade News and Pics 5/23/25

Hi. We have had a busy week! We learned about octopus, jellyfish and sea turtles. We took our Math and Reading NWEAs. Everyone went up LOTS of points! Their hard work this year really shows!


 We had a visit from the MEA president, Jesse Hargrove. He awarded our class with a plaque, balloons, card, book and $250 BAM gift card. We brainstormed all the books we would like to have in our classroom library. I will use the gift card this weekend to buy them! 


We had a great field trip to The Grand to see One Morning in Maine. It was based on the book by Robert McCloskey. The cool thing about the show today is that his daughter Sal was there! She is an adult now but that is who he based his book on! We had our last Flex Friday of the year. Ask your child where s/he went.


We still have some big happenings in the rest of our short time together. Make sure to check out the list below.
