about the letter Gg. On Monday, we found glittery gold in the playground! On Tuesday if we can name 2 things that begin with Gg we can earn a gold chocolate coin! When our buddies come, we will play games for the letter Gg. Also, many of our students are becoming pattern experts.

• Grade One: We are looking forward to a busy Spring here in First Grade! The eggs have arrived and are currently incubating in Second Grade. Our Butterfly and Ladybug larvae have also arrived. In Math, we are focusing on addition and subtraction fact families. Soon we will be learning about place value and then on to addition and subtraction of two digit numbers to 20. We have begun Unit 6 in the Reading program. Please check to be sure your child’s name is clearly marked in sweaters and sweat shirts (uniform). As the weather warms up, some children remove them at recess and we want to be sure to return the clothing to the right child. Also, please send water bottles every day!
