We spent this week in outer space! We learned about the sun, moon, stars and all of the planets. One week was hardly enough to cover all of this interesting information. The kids had so many great questions, we may have some future astronauts in class! We wrote about “if we went to space”, we learned the order of the planets, and even made a spinning model that shows us how the Earth, moon and sun revolve around each other.
This past week we also saw a lot of “lasts” in first grade; last spelling and math test, last homework, last DOL. We had our step-up days, too. We got to visit the 2nd grade classrooms and learn a little bit about what school will look like next year. Then we got to be the big kids with a visit from the kindergartners to hear all about 1st grade. A bittersweet time; we are so excited to be 2nd graders but are not ready to say goodbye to 1st grade.
Shout out to Ms. Scovil for the incredible art show! The students art work was beautifully displayed and it was so fun to see all their hard work this year! Be on the lookout for all of the masterpieces to come home next week.
Next week will be full of celebrating all of our hard work this year (and a little cleaning and organizing)
Here are some important dates to keep in mind for next week:
Monday- we will have a visit from the fire truck at 2:00. Make sure kids bring a change of clothes and a towel.
Wednesday – Class party at Playformance. We will leave school around 9:15, parent drivers needed and all parents are welcome to join us! Lunch will be provided and we will eat at Playformance.
Thursday – last day of school. 11:50 dismissal and there will be NO AFTERCARE
