Waffles the Elf screams, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! 
 
Ice cream day: Ice cream addition color by numbers, "First Grade was Sweet" writing, ice cream coloring, and an ice cream party with 7th grade students! Great last real day of school! 

Snack Reminder

Parents-
 
We had quite a few students forget their snack today.
 
Please reminder to send one tomorrow! 
 
Additionally, check your student's grey folder for their summer math homework!

Last Week of School!

Hello Everyone and Happy Sunday! 
 
I cannot believe tomorrow begins the last week of school.
 
I will not be sending home a newsletter due to it only being three days. No homework this week! 
 
Our agenda this week:
  • Monday: "Luau Day" Today we will be completing "Aloha Summer" writing, completing Hawaiian themed addition and subtraction, destining a Hawaiian shirt, and doing a fun art activity titled "Our Future's so Bright we have to Wear Shades" where students will draw a self portrait of themself wearing sunglasses. Inside the sunglasses they will draw a picture of what they want to be when the grow up. We will have a mystery reader via Zoom. Finally, our class will be taking a trip to second grade for a half hour today. This will be an opportunity for them to see what next year holds. They will get to experience a short block of time as a second grader! 
  • Tuesday: "Ice Cream Day" We will be doing ice cream math (graphing our favorite flavors, double digit addition) and writing about how sweet our year was. Additionally, we will be joining up with 7th graders to make "ice cream in a bag." There will be lots of topping available for this. The middle school students will then help our class sequence the order of steps for making ice cream in a bag. We will be packing up all of their classroom materials on Tuesday to come home. We will also sign yearbooks at some point throughout the day. 
  • Wednesday: NOT A LATE START DAY!  This day is titled "Fun in the Sun!" It will be a school wide day of fun. Students will be dismissed at 12. There will be outdoor games, Kona ice, and a musical performance. No book bags, snacks, or lunches need to be brought to school on Wednesday. There will be no reading today. 
Thank you all so much for an amazing year! I hope your summer is relaxing and fun! 
 
Much Love and God Bless,
 
Ms. B

Friday in writing class we wrote letters to next year's first grader and made them guitars to remind them that "first grade rocks!" Students wrote about what they will learn in first grade, the best activity students will do next year, and gave them a piece of advice. I will not be sending these home, however they will be on the wall outside of the first grade classroom at Welcome Back in August if you wish to see them! I think they turned out so cute and I loved getting to see what advice they have for next year's class! 
Waffles the Elf is ready to rock out today and write letters to the incoming first graders about why first grade totally rocks! 
Second grader sharks...do, do, do, do, do! 
 
Today's writing: 4 sentences about what second graders do! 
"Fish are friends...not food!"
 
Shark day math: double digit addition! I am proud to say every single student in the first grade got every single math problem correct on their first try! So Very proud of them! 
Shark Day-Oh-Ha-Ha! 
 
Today, Waffles the Elf (tried) to dress up like a shark to help inspire the first graders as they write and read about sharks and complete shark math! 
Math: Planning an epic pool party! Students were given a budget of $75 to plan a pool party for their friends! They were given a list of items and prices. In pairs or groups of three, they worked together to plan a pool party, choosing what they would have at their party, adding up the prices, and being sure not to go over budget.
