Tomorrow we will be taking the bus to Res in the afternoon.  We will be at Res from 12:45 - 3:00.  All students will be picked up at Res.  If your child is in the after school program or the Y program they will be bussed back to SMS.

First Grade Math - Today we took the unit 8 test on 2 digit addition.

Religion - This week we have been focusing on Holy Week.  We will finish our ABC's of Lent book tomorrow morning.  We walked through and prayed the Stations of the Cross.

Phonics - This week we continued talking about two syllable words.  Today we learned that if a word is a multi-syllabic and it ends in -ic it is spelled with a c.  (public, topic, panic)

Social Studies - We are up to 42 states and capitals!  Only 8 more to go!

Science - This week our plants grew quite a bit!  We built our aquariums.  We worked in our science packets on describing and drawing the organisms in our terrariums.  Today the students took home their plants.  They also took home their planting cards.  The planting cards show the progress of the seeds.  Transplanting these plants should be easy - they will keep on growing!  I have quite a few pictures of our plants to share.

Bookmobile - Here is an email I received from Mrs. Stewart -

• The Brown County Library Bookmobile is planning a stop at our school on May 15th.  They will be here for 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.  I do not have the exact times yet but I am assuming it will be like 9-11 and 12 - 2.  He is a really nice man and was excited to be coming back to our school.  He asked that you have  your kids bring library cards if they want to check out books.  He is also willing to read a story to each of the classes. If you go on the website there is an online card application. 

The website for the Brown County Library is http://www.browncountylibrary.org/.  If your child does not have a library card and you would like them to you can apply for one online.  Click on "Apply for a library card" in the pink box.

Osprey Point - Next week we are heading out to Osprey Point.  Please let me know if you'd like to join us.

Report Card Envelopes - Please remember to return your report card envelopes.

Have a Blessed Easter!
