In February, we will begin practicing for our play "The Ugly Duckling". It is a musical. You will know the songs well by the time we perform the play. We perform the play the week before Spring Break. On that Friday, all the first grade classes will be going to the skating rink in Sea Bright.
Last week, we had a wonderful time seeing our new president get sworn in. We also talked about many African Americans for Black History month. We read stories on Harriet Tubman, Ruby Bridges, Rosa Parks, etc. We will continue for the next few weeks talking about other special Americans and what made them special.
This week, we have a new homework log. We are asking all first grade students to practice basic facts at home daily on top of reading daily. Please continue to return homework on Fridays. I have been only receiving a few returned homework logs on Friday. This will be present on report cards.
It was great to find out that Kelsey Mackle is related to our past President John Quincy Adams. We will be talking about presidents next month. We love all the information that has been presented to the class for Star of the Week!
Have a wonderful week!
