New photos have been added to the class Shutterfly site. You will need your password sent out by Mrs. Dorsey to access it. I will try to add the rest of the photos I have saved at school sometime this week.

Hope you are enjoying your summer!

Summer Library Hours

Don't forget that you can visit the school library during the month of June. Open hours are every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30-5:30. The whole family can check out books and take quizzes on the computer. You might also want to practice math facts while you are there.

Theme Days & Thinking Skills

I think the students enjoyed the different themed days this week. On Tuesday we had silly sock day. On Wednesday it was hat day. Thursday was sports day, and today many students dressed as their favorite book character. They were lucky enough to have Miss Viola Swamp as their substitute today too.

We have had a busy week preparing for the end of the year. One thing we have been working on this week is Thinking Skills. We revisited analogies, and did a couple new ones too. Logic Links was a game using clues and deduction that the students really enjoyed on Thursday. We also worked on some more logic grids that we started a couple weeks ago.

Teacher Appreciation Thank You

I just wanted to thank you all again for the wonderful time I had last week. I really enjoyed the children's gifts of cards, books, sweet treats, and others. I am so fortunate to have such caring and thoughtful friends and students. Although the year is not over quite yet, I know I am sad to see the children growing up and preparing to leave first grade. It has been a fantastic year, and I have watched the students learn and accomplish so much. These last two weeks will fly by, so I hope I have the chance to tell each of you goodbye before summer. If not, then I wish you well, and I hope to see you in the fall.
