Our 1st grade music program is this Thursday at 6:30! Please make sure your child is wearing jeans or black pants and a white shirt for both the Thursday night concert and on Friday for the 3 concerts they will perform in front of the KDG, 2nd-5th grades.
See Ms. Donovan's email regarding the time to be at school Thursday evening.
I am looking forward to watching the 1st graders perform for the 1st time!
This week in Phonics we are learning about long e with a "ee" and "ea". Unfortunately the "ee" and "ea" are not as easy to know when to use them like the "ai" and "ay". The more you read you remember which way to spell them.
High-frequency words: find, around, under, wash
Social Studies: Kansas History. This week we are learning about the Kansas Seal and our Kansas Flag.
