Snacks

Thank you so much to everyone that donated to the snack cabinet!  The students are very grateful!

Seating for Program

Don't forget that tomorrow is our music program!  There is a 9:30 show for the students and the 1:00 show for parents.  You are welcome to attend either; however, the seating at 9:30 show will be limited.  Please make sure to choose a seat in the center of the lunchroom or on the side that is opposite of the main office.  Our class will be on the far left side of the risers and if you sit on that side of the lunchroom (near the office) you may not be able to see your child.  Also, don't forget to wear jeans and a white shirt.  See you tomorrow! :) 

Picture Book Project

The new book project was sent home today along with the picture book, the instructions and the "special" white paper. Please let me know if you have any questions.  This will be due on April 22nd, and as always, the students will be graded greatly on following directions and effort.

Music Program

Just a reminder that our Three Little Pigs music program for all the first and second graders is on next Wednesday, March 30th in the lunchroom at 1:00 for families. 

 There will also be a 9:30 show for the school if that time works better for you; however, the seating at 9:30 will be very limited.  Students are asked to wear jeans and a white shirt on Wednesday for these performances, unless they have a specific role in the play (Breana, Tristan, and Jacqueline).  See you there!

Registration Packets

Just a reminder that the registration packets are due back to school by THIS FRIDAY.  Make sure to sign the front white page once verifying the information.  Let me know if you have any questions.

St. Patty's Day

This was one crazy week in our class.  The hard work paid off on St. Patrick's Day when we were able to see some fun and excitement with the leprechauns that visited our class.  Everyone made amazing leprechaun traps that included letters to entice them in, but to no prevail...  Here are a few of the traps that were made.

We set them up Wednesday afternoon and Thursday we had quite the surprise.

 Everyone checked their traps to see if they'd caught anything.

 We had to put the classroom back together.  The leprechauns had made a huge mess! Crayons, bears, markers, and gluesticks were everywhere!  There were gold coins and potatoes thrown around and all the cards had been flipped to red! The green cards were gone altogether.

 Then we found the leprechaun's hat.

Later in the day we did some Lucky Charms math and were surprised again by the leprechauns stomping around in the ceiling above us.  Then, all of a sudden, they sprinkled gold glittery dust onto us from above the ceiling and dropped another hat.

At the end of the day everyone took their traps and the only thing that remained were some potatoes, gold and chocolates...

Until next year leprechauns....

Leprechaun Traps

We will be doing leprechaun traps!  Some of you may have already started. They are due the day before St. Patrick's Day, March 16th.  More details will be going home soon.  Students will also need to include a letter to the leprechauns enticing them into their trap.

Thank you!!

Thank you so, so much for all the great indoor recess items.  We appreciate it so much!  Now the kids never want to go outside! ;)
