Week 31

 Week 31: April 15-19

Animal Project

Update: Projects are now due April 22nd.  Information went home with students this past week. We hope you enjoy making something with your Firstie. As a reminder, we are asking that each student create a diorama, poster, or model at home. 

Upcoming Dates: 

We have A LOT going on between now and the end of the school year. Following is an overview of some First Grade-specific activities that we are looking forward to, many of which we could use help with. At the end you will find one big sign up sheet. Thanks for considering!

Wednesday, May 1

Sarett Nature Center Field Trip: Students will ride the bus to the nature center where we will have a presentation with naturalists and a nature walk followed by a picnic lunch. Students will need to bring lunch from home or order a box lunch from the school in advance. Watch for order forms to come home this week. Parents are welcome to join us at the Nature Center. There is a fee for parents upon arrival. In the past it has been $5. 

Wednesday, May 22

Courtyard Games: Firsties will enjoy some time in our lovely courtyard enjoying various activities such as corn hole, hoola hoops, bubble machines, and giant Jenga. We are looking for a parent to coordinate this. 

Thursday, May 23

Kiwanis Park Day: We will walk as a grade level to Kiwanis Park. We will leave Lincoln School at 9:00am and leave the park for the return trip at 11:40. We will need a couple of parents to join us on the walk. Parents are also welcome to join us at Kiwanis. We will need snack and drink donations brought to us during our play time. 

Friday, May 24

Tie dye day: We will be making shirts to be worn on altogether on the last day of school. We will need supplies and helpers to make this a success! Please send in a shirt (old or new) for your Firstie no later than May 21.

Tuesday, May 28

Pizza Day: We will have a pizza party on the afternoon of our last full day of school. We are asking each family to contribute $2 to cover the costs. We would also appreciate having a pizza coordinator for the grade level. 

Thursday, May 30

Beach ball blow up surprise for Firsties: on the last day of school, May 31, we will have a beach ball signing party outside. We would LOVE your help the afternoon before getting all the balls blown up!

Phew! That’s everything we have planned so far! Please check out this signup sheet.
