GRADES 1-2 NEWS 4-27-18

Hi! It’s great to be back from vacation. The kids seem well rested and ready
for that final haul. We said a hello and goodbye this week. We welcomed a
new friend to our class and say goodbye to Miss Pelletier. She was a great
student teacher. She leaves us to head to Arizona for her new job as a
kindergarten teacher! We wish her well! Thank you to those who were able
to donate to her gift and help with the party! She really appreciated it! We will
be saying goodbye to Mr. Jason on Wednesday.

We are learning about landforms and slow/quick changes to the land in science.
We will be doing this along with some planting the remainder of the year. We will
also be working on our musical, Circus, Circus. We will perform this on Thursday,
June 7th at 1:00 and 6:00pm for family and friends. The entire primary wing is in this.

First Grade will finish their math book next week. Second Grade will finish theirs’
the following week. Once the program ends there will be no more homework. I will
be reviewing and extending their skills the remainder of the year.

We are using our Chromebooks to research things from Maine. Some have already
started typing up information and inserting pictures. We are making a Maine Alphabet
book for our penpals. We will be hanging a copy of it in the hall as well. It’s amazing
what they can do on their laptops!
