Dear Parents,
We have had a MUCH
better week, so thank you for speaking to your firstie! I really do appreciate your support on the “home
front”. I also appreciate all of your
prayers…keep ‘em coming!
There were some
exciting things that happened around our building yesterday…did your firstie
tell about what we were able to watch (even though it was just for a little
bit)? We watched the construction
workers pour the concrete for the floor!
They brought in a HUGE crane and it got poured through a long hose, and
then smoothed out. It was pretty neat to
watch. This weekend the steel beams will
be placed….the progress is good! It
seems that the “landscape” of our building is changing almost daily. Make sure to check out our Facebook page or
just check it out in person!
The firsties got
to play the Boom Wackers yesterday (I must admit that I was a teeny bit jealous…)
in Music class!
They got to play along
with the song “In the Hall of the Mountain King”. If you are not familiar with it, below is a
pretty neat video of the music (though it is not the video that they played
with…). Check it out!
I am sending home
today a bag that has math flash cards in them (these are for you to keep). Please work on them at home as much as you can! It doesn’t have to be every day, but the more
that “math facts” are practiced, the more the firsties will have in their memory. Thanks for working with your kiddo at
home!
Did your first
come home yesterday talking about a carrot?
Did they tell you how we learned to use a carrot? Ask your firstie about the different symbols
that we learned about to use when we are proofreading!
If you do get a jump
on spelling words for next week….remember I flip-flopped them and we are working
on the “review words” – yet, am, did, fox, pen, not, bat, fit, met, hug.
Have a very
wonderful long weekend!
Miss Gallagher
