Week of April 25 - 29, 2022

This week, the third-grade Planeteers hosted a waste-free lunch for the school.  The Planeteers  challenged us all to see if we could bring in a lunch that would create no trash.  First Grade was up for the challenge!  We discussed over the past week, ways in which we could each do that.  Once the day finally arrived, the class was so excited to each share how their lunch was waste-free.  

This week, we have been learning about the er, ir, and ur digraphs.  On Thursday, the class broke into pairs to play a game dealing with these sounds.  Each student was given a game board with 6 different numbered columns.  In each column, was a list of words that contained one of the diagraphs about which we have been learning.  

After the students rolled their die, they read a word to their partner from the appropriated numbered column.  The students then colored in that word.  The first student, in the pair, to have three columns colored completely, was the winner.  The class was having such a good time, they asked to keep playing until each of their boards was completely colored!

Reminders!!

*Next week, P.E. is Thursday (day 3).

*In preparation for Mother's Day, each student will be able to invite on guest (his/her mother or special friend) to a special May Crowning & Celebration of Mothers Prayer Service on Friday, May 6th at 8:15 am in the school gym.  Find more information in the Happenings.  If you are interested in attending this special celebration, please sign up here.  We would love it if each child had someone in attendance.
