Thank you!

A HUGE thank you to all of you who supported the first grade booth at the Classroom Carnival.  I was so bummed to miss it. Also, thank you to those of you who donated items for the raffle basket. The money each booth raised goes directly to the grade level teachers.  First grade uses the money for our end of the year field trip, Mother's Day breakfast, and other fun activities throughout the year.

Report cards go home on Friday, March 31.  Remember BE PROUD OF YOUR KIDDO'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS!  First grade is hard, especially third quarter.  These kiddos worked their tails off this quarter and gave it their all.  After reviewing your kiddo's report card please send the empty, signed envelope back to school.

Mark your calendars...Friday, May 12 will be a busy day for first graders at Bitterroot.  First grade will be hosting our second annual Mother's Day breakfast from 7:30-8:05.  More information will be coming out at a later date.  We will also be having a spring music performance from 1:15-1:45 in the gym.  Hope to see you at both events!

We need volunteers to help out with our end of the year field trip to Riverfront Park on Friday, May 26.  We will need help from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm.  Responsibilities include running a game station, eating lunch with a small group of kiddos, and going on a nature walk as a class.  You must have a background check completed before attending.  Mrs. Z can hook you up with a background check form.  These take a few weeks to get back so it would be wise to get it done now.  If you are interested in volunteering please let me know.

Our essential question in reading this week is, "What inventions do you know about?".

In writing, we will continue working on informational pieces

In math we will continue to tell time to the hour and the half hour.
