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 22nd.
Kiddos will need a sack lunch for that day.
Our Encore schedule so
that your kiddo remembers tennis shoes-VERY important
