Here are the top 10 things we did this week.

3. We had our district safety drill with the Lincolnwood Police Department on Tuesday.
4. The children are no longer taking home books from the library, but they will still go to the library on Wednesdays.
5. The children won an extra free time for their good behavior this week and by the number of compliments they received from other teachers in the hall. Way to go, room 209!

Dear Parents,
We were so excited to have another Mystery Reader this week. A huge THANK YOU to Sophia Agos, Steven’s sister. She read a terrific story called, The Night Pirates! The children gave her a huge round of a well-deserved applause.

Dear Parents,
THANK YOU!!!!! What a wonderful week with each day full of surprises! You all made me feel extra special this week! Thank you to everyone for your thoughtfulness. I especially loved the handmade cards and notes, and the beautiful vase with everyone's thumb print and name.
We had a great time at our All School Study about South Korea. The children saw two wonderful performances – a Tae Kwon Do exhibition and a traditional Korean dance with drums!

Here are the top ten things we did in room 209 this week:
1. In math, we completed the unit 9 test. It will arrive home this afternoon.
2. We began our unit on the author of many children’s books, Eric Carle. Today, the children saw a movie about the type of art he does in his books: collage. Ask your child about Eric Carle’s favorite book that he has written.
3. After reading “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” we made and illustrated our own book about “The Very Hungry First Grader”.
4. We finished reading our bird reports to the class. We are proud of the accomplishments of all our classmates.
5. On Wednesday, we had our all school study on the country of Korea. There were roving readers, dancers, music, artifacts and delicious snacks.

We had a very busy week in First Grade! Our bird unit has come to an end. We read many great books this week including, Tacky the Penguin and It Wasn't My Fault. The children then worked on different reading responses that went with these books.
This week we also finished sharing our Bird Reports. It has been so nice to watch the children share information on "their birds". They not only presented their Bird Reports, they also answered questions that the other children in the class had. They did a wonderful job!!!!!!
The children have been working all week on special gifts for YOU moms for Mother's Day! I would tell you about some of these things, but they need to be kept a secret until Sunday! :)
