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

Dear Family,

We went to the Franklin Public Library.  We read books.  Some of us got to check out books.  We sang songs.  We made Miss. Lisa a thank you poster.  She liked it a lot.  We also planted helicopter seeds.  Don't forget to water them!  We only have 21 days of school left.  

Sincerely,
C.J., Jason, Cooper, Faith, Parker, Faye, Emmalee, Ben, Jackson, Matthew, Kimberly, Aliyah, Laken, Andrew, Brandon, and Mrs. Green

Dear Family,

The eagles have all hatched out of the eggs. The eaglets look fuzzy. They are gray. The eaglets are getting big. We had an assembly on Thursday. We saw Basketball Jim Jones. Some people got to do the tricks that he did. He was spinning a basketball on his finger and a pencil. He played Simon Says. Miss Evick won a basketball .
The Anthony Wayne Carnival is tomorrow.

Dear Family,

Today we Jump Roped for our heart! We did stations. It was fun. Some of us won prizes. We have egg-citing news...two of the eagle eggs hatched! Today we wrote down ideas for the names of the baby eagles. We finally got to see the eaglets. We got to do Math this week. We also got to go to the Franklin Public Library. We had a great compliment. The librarian said that we had great manners.

Have a Great Spring Break!

Sincerely,
Emmalee, Jason, Andrew, Parker, Faye, Cooper, Faith, Matthew, Kimberly, Jackson, Ben, Laken, Abby, Brandon, Aliyah, C.J., and Mrs. Green

Dear Family,

This week we learned a new behavior program. It is called Class! Yes! Mrs. Green says "Class!" and we say "Yes!" If Mrs. Green says "Class a doodle doo!" Then we say "Yes a doodle doo!". We are focusing on five important rules. Rule 1 is Follow directions quickly. Rule 2 is raise your hand before speaking. Rule 3 is raise your hand for permission to get out of your seat. Rule 4 is make smart choices. Rule 5 is Keep your dear teacher happy. We are doing much better at following these rules this week.

Sincerely,
Emmalee, Andrew, Jason, Faith, Cooper, Faye, Parker, Kimberly, Matthew, Laken, Ben, Abby, Brandon, C.J., Aliyah, and Mrs. Green

Dear Family,

This week we read a bunch of Dr. Seuss books. We watched Horton Hears a Who. We read Horton Hears a Who. We compared and contrasted the book and the movie. Today is Dr. Seuss's birthday. He would be 103 today. Today we made a Cat in the Hat hat! It was also Ohio's birthday this week. We heard this on the daily announcements. We played soccer in gym this week.

Sincerely,

Emmalee, Jason, Andrew, Parker, Faye, Cooper, Faith, Jackson, Ben, Laken, Matthew, Kimberly, Abby, Brandon, Aliyah, C.J., and Mrs. Green
