Happy Tuesday!  Please check out this you tube video.  It was made by some Hirsch students and has a powerful message!  If you would like to help, you can bring just one can (or more) to our classroom anytime this week or next.

April Calendar Writing Prompts

Happy Spring Break!  I hope you enjoy your special time with your first grader.  I am off to New Jersey with my girls.  We are visiting my sister and her family.  Her is the calendar for April if your child would like to get a head start on the writing prompts.  I am now paying one penny for completing this part of the homework assignment.  Of course it needs to be done correctly.  Minimum 2 different selections per week.  Each writing needs to have a minimum of 5 sentences.  Please encourage your child to use words from the word bank.  As always, thanks for your support.  See you all on April 8th!

Spell-a-Thon

Thank you so much for your generous contributions to our spell-a-thon.  If you have already returned your donations, thank you.  If you are still collecting, please send in your monies as soon as possible.  I have recently purchased class sets of new crayons, dry-erase markers correcting pencils, writing pencils and other much needed classroom supplies and your donations have helped pay for these items.

3 selections are due tomorrow.

Good Luck!

New app

Check out this app if you have an iPod, iPad, iPhone, etc..., in the App Store, letter school.  I am going to try to find time in class for select students to work on their penmanship with this app.  Thought you'd like to try it at home.  I haven't tried to google play store but maybe they haven't something similar for the android users.
