Happy First Day of Spring!! 

This is what is happening this week in Grade 1:

Dress for the weather: please continue to send in an extra bag for the students to put their wet and dirty (muddy) clothing in at the end of the day. It would also be a good idea to send in extra mitts. 

Library: we go to the library tomorrow. Make sure you return your book so you can sign out another for the week to come. Please send back all books. 

Homework: 

• Read a levelled book (or two) and log it each night. Remember to use your strategies. 
• Sight words/ letters: it is important to continue to practice what is sent home each night. If the students complete all the sight words, they can practice spelling them each night. I will notify you when the students are at this stage. 
• Play a math game/ activity each night. 
• Please return the levelled books on Thursday, March 23rd. 

Fundraiser:  all pledge money was due on March 2nd. If you have not already sent it in, please do so ASAP. 

World Down Syndrome Day: tomorrow, March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day. Please wear unique socks (bright, mismatched, striped, polka dots, etc.) to start a conversation and show your love and support. 

No School: there is no school for students on Friday, March 24th. It is a Professional Learning Day for teachers. 

Water Bottles: please send the students to school with a water bottle each day. 

Have a wonderful, fun week Grade 1!!
