Week of April 14

Since we are beginning our time unit this week, it’d be great if you practice this with your kiddo.  Emphasize that you look at the short hand first.  Then the long hand represents minutes- which are counted by five.

Can your first grader tie his/her shoes?  If not, NOW is the time to teach your little one!!!  Thank you from your first grade teachers!

We are looking forward to our field trip to the Ft. Worth Museum of Science and History- next Tuesday the 22^nd.  Kiddos will need a sack lunch for that day.
