Newsletter for February 24, 2011

Dear Parents,
What didn't we do in first grade this week? On Tuesday we went to St. Petersburg Little Theatre to see an amazing story teller. In art class the children have been working on projects that go along with the African Folktale, "The Turtle's Shell". You should see these next week. I hope you heard all about the characters the storyteller created! It was truly a unique experience. Our spelling bee girls, Sydnie and London did a great job and spelled a lot of hard words. We are all so proud of the hard work and dedication. Breana was an alternate, but she prepared and worked hard too! Today we hosted Grandparent's Day. It was so much fun seeing the children sit down at their desks with their grandparents to give cards and read books. Each family in our class has a loving heritage!

***Don't forget to log all of your February Reading Minutes and turn in your log on Tuesday. If we have more minutes than Mrs. Fleming's class we'll have a breakfast reward the first Monday of March.

***We are in need of donations to our First Grade Store!!!

Our Star Student will be Jasmine!

Our secret word is "lima bean".

Have a wonderful weekend!

Dawn Newland
