Mrs. Drobot's First Grade Class Reminders / Updates:
**Teacher Appreciation Week: Thank you for the special cards, flowers, candles, candy, and school supplies. PTO provided us with a breakfast, a lunch, and snacks throughout the week too. Thank you for making us feel so special! It is truly a pleasure to teach your children!
**End of the Year: We have many year end assessments happening over the next few weeks. Please make sure your kids get lots of rest and eat healthy meals and snacks. We set goals for some of these assessments and will see if the kids can meet their goals.
**Tadpoles: We received about 3 times as many tadpoles this year. We have enjoyed watching them grow. We will have them for a few more weeks then they will be able to be adopted by students. A permission slip will come home next week. Please fill it out and return it if you are interested.
Upcoming Events:
**Z-A Countdown: Monday X (bring in baby picture), Tuesday W (walk the track), Wednesday V (buddy class), Thursday U (bring a book from home), Friday T (dress like twins or triplets)

**Spelling: We will continue with our 3 groups - gold, purple, and pink.
**Writing: We will continue working on our realistic fiction series, trying to incorporate dialogue and feelings.
**Math: We will work on measuring using non-standard units (like paperclips and cubes). Then we will challenge students with using rulers to measure as a preview to second grade.
