Ladybug Release

Well, today was the big day! This morning we took our ladybugs out to the Butterfly Garden and released them. A few of them hung around long enough for us to get a close look. Enjoy the pics! 

Oooops!

I think I forgot to mention there is a Book Fair in the library today and tomorrow. Today it is open from 11:00 to 2:00, and tomorrow from 8:30 to 3:30. If you do not have time to shop with your child after or before the music program tomorrow, you may just send money with your child and the volunteers will help them shop. Thanks!

Big Day Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is our day of Fine Arts. The first graders will be singing at 9:30a.m. After their concert you are welcome to stay a bit and visit the Art Fair in the grand hallway and art room. Just an FYI: Today is early dismissal at 1:40p.m.

ladybug reading rocks

Our ladybugs are all happily running around inside their habitat. We will watch them until Friday and then take them outside to release them. Today we made ladybug reading rocks. The special thing about them is they don't eat food. To keep them healthy you have to read aloud to them everyday! Enjoy the pics.

Ladybugs

Yes, we have ladybugs!! It's a bumper crop. We will watch them for a few days and then release them in the butterfly garden.

Spring Fever

Spring is in the air! Everyone is busy with outdoor activities and sports. I would like to congratulate those students who continue to consistently bring in their Monday reading sheet, AND read at least 100 minutes. Congratulations to Lexie, Seth, Keridon, Jake, Thomas, Katie, and Ellen (who usually reads over 200 minutes!) I am very proud of you!

Money Test

We will be having our test over counting change tomorrow. The test will only cover pennies, nickels and dimes. I will however give them a section the next day over quarters, just to see how much they have learned. Please help your child practice counting change tonight so they will be ready for the test tomorrow.
