Dear Families,

Thank you for coming to Open House on Tuesday! Your children were very excited to be your tour guides for the afternoon. I hope you enjoyed seeing all the work they have done this year in first grade. They have done so much this year and I am very proud of them! I will be sending home everything the last week of school!

Today the air was really smoky outside, so we had indoor recess, lunch, and PE. Fortunately, we had an assembly by the Silicon Valley Brass Company and we also had our last art class with Mrs. Blakeslee. Also, we have been busy learning about solids for our last science unit. We are exploring different properties of small solids (such as rice, cornmeal, and beans) and learning science vocabulary words such as: soft/hard, transparent/opaque, smooth/rough, and flat/pointed.

The year is quickly coming to an end, but we are still learning and doing many activities. Please remind your children about kind behavior and actions! We have been getting many reminders and warnings for not listening or respecting others. Thank you! Hope you have a wonderful long weekend! See you on Tuesday!
