The second grade students will have their spelling test tomorrow morning, as there probably will not be time for the test Friday morning. (The students are all attending the Talent Show in the gym Friday morning, and there is no school for students Friday afternoon, as the staff will be attending professional development.)

We've been working through an "Under the Sea" theme, and the subject of sand castles came up in one of the books we read. As a result, we searched YouTube for sand castle samples and found some pretty impressive ones. Click here to see what we found!

Spelling books went home for parent signatures today. Please sign and return these Monday. Thanks!

We had some fun hunting for Easter eggs and then cracking them open to find joke questions and answers. (What kind of stories do Easter bunnies like best? Ones with hoppy endings, of course!)
Here's a photo of our first rate, first grade egg hunters.




Enjoy the long weekend, everyone!

It's great to be back in the educational saddle - and to welcome two new students to Grade Two: David and Sophia!

The first graders have resumed their at-home reading/writing program. Thanks for helping out with this! Parental support makes a huge difference in student learning.

We have also begun sending home Sam - an adorable stuffy! - with a different student every night. The students are supposed to write about the fun they've had with Sam, then return the cute little critter with their writing the next morning. Thanks for your support with this, as well, everyone! (Tonight's host for Sam is Wyatt.)

Here's a photo of our fearless piratical first graders on the treasure hunt we went on the day before our spring break began. Brace yourself for some blood-thirsty expressions!
