Dear Parents,

I would like to thank you for such a wonderful year.  We have had so much fun in first grade this year.  You should be very proud of your child.  They have learned so much this year.  Please continue to read with your child on a daily basis this summer.   This will keep them from slipping backward during the summer.  Writing is also important.  They can practice writing letters, post cards and stories.  This will help them be ready for second grade.  This has been a great year.  It really flew by.  Have a safe and happy summer.  

Thank you,
Mrs. Green

Dear Students,

I will miss you very much this summer.  I really enjoyed having you in my class.  Keep reading and writing this summer.  I am very proud of all the hard work you did this year.  

Have a fun summer!!!

Love,

Mrs. Green

Dear Parents,

Sorry that we didn't get to write on our blog on Friday.  I'm sure your child told you what a fun day we had yesterday.  Yesterday we tie dyed our shirts for the Zoo field trip.  It was a lot of fun.  It was very very messy.  Each child was able to dye a shirt.  I'm sure the shirts will be amazing.  This was a long process.  The kids got to play outside at recess while we tie dyed the shirts a few students at a time.  Some how we managed to squeeze our spelling test in to our busy day.  We had a special assembly to kick off our Right to Read week.  He was a juggler and ventriloquist.  The students had a great time.  They were also very shocked that Miss. Haney, our Title 1 Reading teacher was their substitute for gym class.  What a crazy, but fun day!  Don't forget to check out the papers that were sent home about all of the fun activities that will take place next week.

Thank you,
Mrs. Green
