It was great to have a little dose of spring this week-let's hope we get to enjoy some more days like that!
We've all settled back into our first grade routine very nicely. We spent time this week reviewing computation and beginning our work with word problems, practicing our poems and making poem pockets for our Poetry Reading in a couple of weeks, hearing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and watching the original film to celebrate another 25 Caught You Being Good cards, starting our study of the Iditarod (which begins tomorrow!), enjoying a visit from The Cat in the Hat today, and doing some fun Seuss-themed activities.
Conferences will be held next Thursday and on Wednesday, March 14. The PTCFast link was sent home on the WPS ListServe, and is also available on the WPS homepage: http://www.rsu14.org/wsd_primary/ . If your child recently had an IEP, 504, or RTI meeting and you prefer not to meet in person, we can touch base by phone or email, and I will send home the supplemental report as well as the emailed report card (which will be sent by the office later this month).
Thank you for helping your child work on his/her 120th Day project! We are practicing our poems here at school and I can tell that many of the kids have been working on their basic facts too.
Purple homework folders are due on Monday. Please be sure that your child returns his or her reading books in the white folder every week, and if your child is an LLI student, be sure that the book bags from Mrs. Webster are sent back daily.
Have a fantastic weekend!
