A note from the teacher… Last week was so great! We are so excited to begin another one! St. Patrick’s Day is next week, and our school is infested with leprechauns! Our first graders are being asked to make leprechaun traps at home and bring them to school. They can be as simple as your student would like, however please remember that leprechauns are very sneaky! Feel free to send your student’s trap anytime this week- we will set the traps next Monday before we go home and hope to get lucky! Please contact me if you have any questions. Please make a note that our upcoming SEP conferences are March 26 & 27. Reading Tips/Tricks Feel free to explore the “Reading” and “Math” links on my website as well as the 1st grade page!
