First Grade Newsletter and Pics 4/4/25

Hi! We've been so busy this week! I am truly amazed at how much your kids are retaining about the rainforest and its animals we have been learning about! We finished researching our chosen animal and are now into the publishing stage. We've also done a class dive into blue morpho butterflies, capybaras, coatis, piranha and river dolphins. We made a huge mural of the Amazon River to get ready for our build of the rainforest on Monday. Our room just gets better each day.

We had two special assemblies this week. The UMaine Symphonic Orchestra came and played for us. The Husson nursing students came and did a teddy bear clinic. Both were fantastic!

Our UFLI sound of next week is long o made by o_e. It should hopefully be easy seeing how we've had the same pattern with the a and i.
