Dear Families:
   We are getting so excited about our quickly approaching field trip to Kingswood Friday, June 16th from 9:00 – 11:30. If you haven’t already done so, can you please send in the money ($11.50) for our Kingswood adventure as soon as you can.   Please sign and return the permission slip as soon as possible with the funds if you have not already done so.
 
What we are learning:
Literacy - This week grade 1 will review all of our “h” words which you will find listed at the back of their sight word book.
Math – Review of all addition and subtraction strategies as well as counting activities.
You and Your World – we will continue to explore the characteristics, needs and differences among living things. Ask your child for a butterfly update!
 
Information Items/Dates to Remember:
