Hello, 1st grade families,
First, let me say a huge THANK YOU for the beautiful flowers that I received today. Such a wonderful way to start the week! I am so grateful to work with such thoughtful families.
Please read the announcements and reminders below:
HOMEWORK CHANGE - NO MENU THIS WEEK:
In order to support families in completing the final tasks for the Animal Research Report, there is no homework menu assigned this week. Please take this week to focus on finishing the game cards & pieces, the 2-D model, and the Animal Research Google Slides.
Directions for the game cards & pieces and the 2-D model were sent home with your child and are attached again below:
Game Cards & Game Pieces instructions

Students may also work on their Animal Research Google Slides from home this week. They can access their work from this link:

We will continue to work on these slides in class, but students may add information to their slides at home. I will send Research Folders home with them tomorrow. Please help your child remember to bring these back and forth from school to home.
While it may be tempting to help your child with this aspect of the project, please remember that it is important that the Animal Research Slides reflect your child's work. We have talked about ways that parents can help, and this is what we came up with as a class:
All work for the Animal Research Project is due on Monday, May 8th. If you have any questions or concerns about these last few tasks, please contact me.
Beginning Monday, May 8th, students will receive a homework packet, similar to the one they will receive next year, in order to help support their transition to 2nd grade.

COLLABORATION DAY - FRI. 5/12
Friday, May 12th is a Collaboration Day. All students should arrive at school by 8:10 AM and will be dismissed at 11:35 AM.
1ST GRADE FIELD TRIP- LA ZOO - WED. 5/17 -ALL DAY BIRDS
Our field trip to the Los Angeles Zoo is scheduled for Wednesday, May 17th. The cost of this docent-led trip is $14 and permission slips were sent home with students today. Please send the signed permission slip & money to school with your child. Please make sure any cash is placed in an envelope with your child's name on it. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
I can't believe how fast time has gone by! We are really trying to enjoy our last few weeks together. I so appreciate your support. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.
Thanks,
Mrs. Boayes

- Parents can help write down sentences that your child dictates to type on their slide. (The sentences must be from your child.)
- Parents can type sentences that the child dictates to them. (Sentences must be from your child)
- Students may ask parents for help spelling words when they need help.
