Happy Monday! Well we are coming towards the finish line of First Grade and it will be a busy next few weeks. First and most important is our show "Commotion in the Ocean" on May 10th at 8:30a.m. with light refreshments to follow. This is a great showcase of what your children have learned and  can perform. We had our squid dissection with Mrs. Peck on Friday and our focus study this week is sea turtles. We learned so much about the squid. Make sure you ask your child. We also measured the lengths of different whales this week. My goodness that blue whale is 100 feet long. Congratulations to Kate for competing in her first swim meet and winning ribbons. She shared her ribbons at Town Meeting. A letter will be sent home this week about our project work. The students will be working on them some at home and mostly at school. Depending on what they want to do, they may need to bring in special supplies. I talked to them about different options and ideas.
