Things to Know:

Spring "Field Trip" After lamenting about how fun end-of-year field trips are and  how hard it is that we can't truly do them this yera, us first grade teachers decided to get creative. On Tuesday, June 8th, we will be taking a walking field trip to a nearby park for a picnic! Your child will need a bag lunch for this trip. Permission slips and more info will be coming by the end of the week!

Animals 2x2: We've got chicks AND ducks! (Sadly it seems the turkey eggs were actually not fertilized...we are still waiting!) Our little buddy from the VIP suite is now fluffy, healthy, and with the other chickens!


These little ducklings were having a hard time, so they also had their own VIP suite in our classroom. They're much better today!



Baby Hour and Momma Minute: We've been talking a lot about time in first grade these days, and in case you've been wondering "Who on earth is Momma Minute and Baby Hour?" This is what we're talking about!


Today we learned another trick about these two in order to help us know how to write digital time. 
"One thing we know about Mommas is that they ALWAYS put their babies FIRST!" :-)
