I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend despite the rain. I spent
the weekend with my family. It was nice to get to see everyone.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be STAAR testing days. We are asking
parents not to visit campus on these 2 days. Thank you!
We had a tragedy today when we were candling an egg. The part of
the incubator that keeps the eggs from rolling around got caught on the lid as
I was trying to put the egg back in, and an egg fell to the floor and cracked!
I feel so horrible, but we talked about how we are going to look at the
positive side and be happy that we still have 8 eggs incubating!
We will have our spring field trip to the Thinkery on May 9,
2019. We will need 4 parent chaperones
in order to comply with the Thinkery’s adult to student ratio. There is still 1 spot available! Please email me if you are able and willing
to attend. I will send out information
to the chaperones once all spots are filled.

This week in Reading & Writing Workshop…
We will continue digging deeper into research. In this unit, the
students will use what we learned about research to complete a self-chosen
research project. The students will choose a topic, ask questions, develop a
research plan, and read different nonfiction texts to find the answers to their
questions. In 1st Grade, this is not expected to be done
independently, but with adult assistance. We will also be reading and learning
about the chicks and chickens!
This week in Math Workshop…
We will be revisiting equality & inequality before learning to
use symbols (>,<,=) to compare and contrast numbers to 99. We will also
continue using strategies in problem solving. We will focus on subtraction
problems that ask the questions “how much greater” and “how much less”.
This week in Science…
We will continue researching to learn more about chicks and
chickens so that we will be able to properly take care of them when they hatch.
This week in Social Studies…
We will think about different jobs in our community
that produce goods and/or provide services, and begin thinking about earning
and saving money.
Our Life Skill of the week is Effort!
That’s all for now! Have a great week!
