Hello First Grade Families!

We are enjoying our last few days of First Grade! Can you believe we are going to be Second Graders? We were busy this past week completing our District Assessments. The children did a great job on their writing and math assessments. Their writing prompt was: Write about something you are good at....We brainstormed, completed our graphic organizers and finished our final copy. Well done boys and girls!

As you know, we had step up day this week! We had the opportunity to meet the Fantastic Second Grade Team, Mrs. Majka and Mrs. Stamos enjoyed having us and are looking forward to a wonderful year. Did you know the Second Graders also are Bucket Fillers?

We also have been very busy using the Smart Board. As a class, we have reviewed our math skills (2-digit addition and subtraction) as well as all of our calendar activities! I am so impressed!

This week we will be finishing up reading assessments and completing our First Grade Memory books. Your child will have a keepsake to remember his/her First Grade year @ The Hoover School!

Looking Ahead:

DPW DAY: Tuesday, June 8th
FRANKLIN PARK ZOO : Wednesday, June 16th
LAST DAY OF SCHOOL : Thursday, June 17th

Enjoy the week!
