Here's the skinny...

Dear Families,

We are in the home stretch of first grade now and the room is full of farms!  The students are deciding how many of each farm animal they want to add to their farms, how much pasture land they'll need, and where to locate them on their farms. It's amazing how much information your children have learned about farm animals and farming! Ask your child what he/she has added to his/her farm.

During our library time the children have learned about the 3 steps of the Super 3 research model: Plan, Do, Review.  They have chosen a "fat" question and have now been researching information to answer it. Ask your student what the difference between a "fat" and "skinny" question is.  Our fat question has to do with the role of horses on farms.

On Tuesday we will be visiting the book sale.  This is a great opportunity to pick up some gently used books for summer reading.  Each book will cost 25 cents.  I hope you are all having a fabulous three day weekend!
