3.9.18

Hello, and happy Friday!  I cannot believe we just finished the third grading period of 1st grade!!!!  The 4th and final grading period starts on Monday.  I am so proud of all of these kiddos for everything they have learned so far this year. 

Just a reminder that this weekend is daylight savings time!  We will "spring" forward an hour on Saturday night.

A huge thank you goes out to all of the parents who chaperoned our field trip to the Magic House and McDonald's.  It was a great day and the kids had so much fun!  Thank you Mr. Walker, Mr. Finley, Mrs. K. Finley, and Mrs. Winans.  We hope you had as much fun as we did!

I would like to recognize Cody for his OUTSTANDING efforts in Accelerated Reading.  He had the most amount of point this quarter, as well as the highest percentage of everyone in the class.  He had a total of 23.8 points with an average score of 96.9%   Keep it up, Cody, and keep setting a great example for your classmates!  We are so proud of you! 

Congratulations to Joelle and her family on the birth of their new baby girl last week! 🎀

Next week will be our last lesson in Unit 4 of Reading.  The week following that we will test over all the skills taught in Lessons 15-20. 

Please continue to have your child practice their sight words as often as possible.  Also, please continue to listen to your child read for at least 15-20 minutes a night.  This will make such a HUGE difference in their academic successes.  I PROMISE you!  When your child brings home any math papers with mistakes on them, please help them to correct their mistakes so they can see how they went wrong, with the hopes of getting it right the next time.  We do this often in class, but unfortunately we don't always have time for it on every activity.

Have a wonderful weekend!  Hugs and High Fives! 
Ms. Bleich 😊
