The children learned about the solar eclipse today and we will finish up tomorrow.  Thank you to my class parents for the moon pies, Sunny D and glasses!!!!  The children really enjoyed the special snack.

Good morning,

I hope you had a nice spring break with your children despite the rainy weather.  The next few weeks will be very busy in the classroom as the children will be introduced to many new concepts.

We begin with the solar eclipse that is happening tomorrow.  The children will learn what it is and make a model to understand it more fully.  Mrs. Noble was kind enough to get the class special glasses.  The children will have them in their hand at dismissal.  If you would like your child to look up, please make sure they view it with the glasses on to protect their eyes.  Thank you Mrs. Noble!!!!

The spelling test on r controlled words will be given on Wednesday.  I gave the children their notebooks over spring break.

Please make sure your child has all their supplies tomorrow.  They need crayons, glue, sharpened pencils and scissors.  Although we are in our third trimester of first grade, I expect your children to continue trying their best.  They need to work neatly and carefully.  There is still a lot of school left.

On a different note, we will be going to Legoland in Westchester on Wednesday, May 22nd for our spring class trip.  Ms. Saldana and myself will be on the trip along with our class assistants.  The children, class assistants and teachers will be on the bus.  If you have Protecting God’s Children and want to meet us there, you are more than welcome.  However, please know that this is a class trip.  No younger siblings may attend and you may not take your child from the group/assistant they are assigned to.  You may walk along with the group your child is with.  There will be more information on the trip by early next week.

Enjoy the rest of the day and thank you for your continued support!

Mrs. Mele

Spelling notebooks were sent home today if you want to study the r controlled words with your child over spring break.  Test will be given no sooner than Wednesday of the week we return.

Pencil cases were also sent home.  Please go through them, sharpen pencils and replace any items that your child may need.

Enjoy the week off with your children.  Have a safe and blessed Easter!!!

Best,

Mrs. Mele
