They used Pebble Go to collect information about their animals’ appearance, habitat, the food they eat, and fun facts! They also wrote thank you cards to Mr. Messicci, a retired teacher from Somerset that hosted a puppet show for the first grade.

Social Studies Update:

Our Scholastic News this week was “Our First President.” The students learned about George Washington’s life. Students also participated in a 2-session kindness lesson hosted by Ms. K and myself. Mr. Quinn will outline more information in his weekly E-News!

Things To Know:

SOMERSET SOCIAL:

Hi There!

My name is Antigoni and I am the Ambassador from Mrs. Nelson's first grade class! My job is to keep families in the loop when it comes to upcoming events and more grade level specific communications! I wanted to reach out to you families of Mrs. Brignac's class to share some info about the upcoming Somerset Social that is coming up in March! Please see detailed info before! We would love to see you there as well as at the Happy Hour at Union 32 Craft House beforehand.

The Somerset Social + Silent Auction is Somerset's biggest fundraiser of the year and an all around great time for parents to have a night out, meet more parents, have fun and support our Somerset Community!

Here are some details for you!

First Grade Meet-Up!
Before the Social, myself along with the other first grade ambassadors, are planning a casual meet-up for all first-grade parents at Union 32 Craft House in Eagan at 5:30pm. This will be a great way to connect before heading to the event! This is really just a fun chance for all of us to meet and make some new friends before heading over to the big event!

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I’m looking forward to getting to know you all and hope to see you on March 14!
