Summer Reading Book Fair
June 14, 2019
This year, we will be putting on a small summer reading book fair in our gym for students! We are hoping to send each child home with at least 6 books they are excited about reading. We need your help!
We will be taking book donations beginning June 3rd.

We will take any books in good condition! Please place books in the bins in the front lobby. Thank you all for your help! Also, please check out this article link below, it has some great suggestions.

Summer Reading Challenge
I will continue with my summer reading challenge and pen-pal writing. Please let me know if your child would be interested in writing back and forth with me this summer!

Hazen's Notch Field Trip
We had a great time visiting Hazen's Notch on Thursday! We enjoyed hiking on the trails, observing the beaver lodge and the various dams on the property! Students also enjoyed finding salamanders, and native plants such as trillium and wild onions!


















Readers' Workshop

In reading, we have spent time reviewing routines and habits. We continue to read books in a series and meet in our book clubs. Students are becoming much more familiar and comfortable meeting with their clubs. Next week, we will work on a final project on our favorite characters! 

Writers' Workshop 

Students are finishing up their letters! We worked on writing conclusions and restating our opinions. Next week we will begin to revise and edit our favorite letters! 


Happy Forest Celebration
The first and second graders have been working to follow our classroom routines and helpful habits. On Thursday we celebrated achieving our goals and making it back to the Happy Forest with Wise Bear! Students voted to have free choice technology time in the afternoon.




























































Math 
The first graders have worked hard on solving number stories with addition and subtraction. We learned to notice and wonder, brainstorm questions, and information needed to solve some tricky number stories.  We will begin Unit 7 which will take us to the end of the year. We will also begin our end of year assessments in the coming weeks.
