Field Trips

First Grade has two field trips planned for May.

Tuesday, May 15, we will take the school bus and go to the Outdoor Campus from 8:30 AM to approximately 10:30 AM.  Come dressed for lots of outdoor activity! 

Tuesday May 22, we will picnic at Storybook Island and then stay to play and have a scavenger hunt.  We will again take the school bus leaving at 11:00 AM to approximately 1:00 PM.  Please send $2 admission fee for your child by Friday May 18.  Also, we are asking that each child bring a sack lunch/drink that day in a disposable container (paper sack/juice box, etc.)

Please check today's Friday Folder for a volunteer sign-off to help supervise on the field trips.

Have a great weekend with your child.

Sum Dog South Dakota Challenge

Dear Parents,

We have concluded adding new words to our First Grade Word Wall list and will now work on learning all the words with automicity to use in our reading, writing and spelling and phonics activities.  I have included a copy of the First Grade Word Wall list in today's Friday Folder   I would like the children to know these words with ease as they will have a new list for 2^nd grade.

SUM-DOG South Dakota contest:  We will be taking part in the state wide Sum-Dog Challenge from April 30-May 4.  We are trying to accumulate the most points for first grade by correctly answering the Sum-Dog questions.  The points your child accumulates at home will count for our challenge.  The more times a student plays-the more opportunities they have to answer questions.  Just log on to www.sumdog.com and enter the username/password that is taped inside your child’s Friday Folder.  

Have a great weekend with your child!
