SURPRISE!

A Surprise for Mrs. Shannon!

 

Thank you so much to the whole class and all of the parents who helped to put together a little surprise shower for our own Mrs. Shannon! It was great to have her back for a few minutes and spend some time celebrating. I know she had a blast and the students sure did enjoy seeing her . . . and eating cupcakes, of course.

 

It has been a great week in 1st grade as we have started our study of forests and trees. We've learned about short i and the ending x. We've also talked about the difference in realistic fiction and fantasy. Next week, we will continue to study about forests and learn about the people who take care of them. Our first at home project will be sent home on Monday. It will be due on Friday, September 11th. Please let me know if you have any questions after getting the directions. We will practice short o in our spelling list next week.

 

Great job studying your sight words and/or math facts this week. Be on the lookout in next week's homework for a new list for many of you! This Friday will also be our first house competition, so be prepared to dress in team shirts. For our new students, shirts will arrive early in the week, so keep an eye out for them in book bags!

 

Finally, thank you for making this transition so easy! You have fantastic students and I am so excited to have the time to work with them. Please keep in touch and let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Enjoy the weekend!
