Dear First Grade Families,

The past week has seen First Grade settling into their routine and beginning their specialty classes. They have been eager to find out what each day will hold and really excited to try new subjects! Each morning since receiving their Main Lesson Books and beautiful new crayon rolls (gifts from the trees and the bees!), the children have been creating Form Drawings inspired by a series of stories about a boy with a magic pencil. When recalling each story the day after hearing it, they have offered so many details that they noticed and retained!

A highlight of the week for the class was our Extra Main Lesson with our Seventh Grade Buddies. The warmth between the two classes was evident as they worked together to prepare our outdoor classroom for lessons. The whole group is excited about the possibilities of our future lessons together!

We celebrated Emmanuel's seventh birthday on Friday. Happy birthday, Emmanuel!

Announcements and Reminders for First Grade:

Please send rainboots and sunhats/baseball caps with your child to school, as they are required for farm visits, which we plan to start soon.

Warmly,

Michelle
