Listen out for spring peepers!

Dear Families,

We've had a very busy week!  We have been learning about frog life cycles and writing informational reports about them.  Did you know that different frog calls mean different things?  Your first grader does now, along with many other interesting facts!  In math, we have begun our geometrey unit and students have also been figuring out picture problems and creating their own for classmates to solve.   

Wasn't it wonderful to have some sunny, spring-like days last week? With the hope that there will be more of those in the near future...please keep sending boots and a change of shoes so the mud on the playground doesn't come into our classroom after recess. Thanks for your help! 

The PIE garden group is looking for each classroom to have a parent volunteer that could help with planting and garden work this spring.  This volunteer would organize other volunteers to help with our planting day.  Please let me know if you are interested in volunteering for this position.

I am looking forward to talking to you all about your wonderful children during conferences!  If you haven't done so already, please sign up using the sign-up genius I sent out earlier this week.  If you did not receive it or none of the times work for you, please let me know so we can find one that does.

Happy Birthday to our Student of the Week!  We enjoyed learning all about you!
