Vocabulary:

Math:

Writing:

• The students listened to and discussed the story Best Friends Sleep Over. We explored how a character’s emotions can change over time, and the students wrote a personal narrative about a time their own feelings changed. They focused on organizing their story with a clear beginning, middle, and end.

Social Studies Update:

• Our Studies Weekly magazine focused Timelines and how people and places change over time.  Our Scholastic News this week was “Chomp”. The students learned how scientists learn about dinosaurs by looking at their teeth. Finally, Mrs. K came for a Kindness Lesson and we also read and discussed the Amazeworks book Tomas Loves.

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!

 Saturday, March 14, 2026
 Mendakota Country Club

This fun, laid-back, Adult Only evening includes great food, activities, and time to connect with other Somerset families. There will be a Silent Auction with fantastic items and, new this year, live music led by one of our very own Somerset parents.

With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, we’re encouraging everyone to wear a little green for a festive touch.

 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!

Have a great day!
