News from Miss Jusianiec’s 1st grade
Class
Great week! Our butterflies have
made their chrysalis’! We put them
in our net and we are watching
them in our classroom. Two more
weeks and we will have beautiful
butterflies. We have done all sorts
of butterfly activities such as:
learning about the parts, symmetry,
painting, and reading books.
Fundations is going wonderfully!
Each day we learn a new letter, and
do several activities. Please keep
working with your child, as it is a
big help in their development,
especially in reading and writing.
We will be testing first graders on
their brain words and trick words in
the next few weeks, and will share
their results- so that we can help to
assure progress and monitoring.
We have finished our writing for
Open House and they are on our
bulletin board- we are so anxious
for all of you to see them!
Have a great weekend!!
