First Grade News 4-8-22

 Hi! We have successfully turned half our room into a rainforest! It helped us write great stories this week! We are very excited to share our play, room and stories with you on Wednesday, April 13th at 8:30 am. We will be on stage in the cafeteria. Families and friends are invited. The play is about fifteen minutes and then we'll take you back to our room for another fifteen. If you would like their older siblings to come watch, just write their teacher a note excusing them at 8:30. Younger siblings will see it during our dress rehearsal.

We painted our scenery this week on Monday. On Tuesday, we met with Maine author, Chris Van Dusen, on Zoom. Wednesday, our peer helpers started our rainforest with us. Thursday and Friday were filled with adding to our rainforest, writing rainforest stories, reading and telling time in math.

Next week we will be quite busy between the play and our field trips. Thursday will be our trip to the Old Town YMCA for Wellness Day. Please have your child wear comfortable clothes and sneakers. We will NOT be swimming. Friday we will be going to the Maine Discovery Museum. The bus leaves at 9:30 and returns at 1:15. Students should wear comfortable clothes and sneakers. Donations to cover the $5 admission and $50 program fee are appreciated. 

Happy Weekend!
