May 20th -24th

Dear Families,

Have I told you how much I appreciate each of you?  I am constantly being reminded of how wonderful and caring our Caraway Families are each day by so many thoughtful comments, offers, advice, and inquiries. I’ve been having so much fun using the new colors of dry erase markers, colored pens, 3 hole punch, stapler, stickers, sticky notes and much more… not to mention the fun I’ve had eating all sorts of chocolates and trail mixes… spending the Sonic gift card and Barnes and Noble gift card… I am still amazed at how spoiled I am this year!  I am so sorry that I had to miss Volunteer Appreciation day, but I want you to know that you are all truly amazing!                                                                                                 The doctor appointment didn’t go quite as I had imagined in my mind. However, progress seemed to be right on track with what Dr. Borick had in mind. Imagine that! So, I’ll trust that he knows more about reconstructive knee surgeries than I do. J

Reading Workshop:

In Reading Workshop we will continue our unit on Fiction.  We will enjoy reading and thinking about what we are reading.  We will explore all of the things we’ve learned this year while we read!

Writer’s Workshop:

In Writer’s Workshop we will begin working on our First Grade Memory books!  We can’t wait to share them with our families!

 Math:

In math we will begin finish our unit on Probability.  We have some fun activities to help us think about the changes of something happening.  We use vocabulary such as most likely, least likely, certain and impossible.

Social Studies:

This week we begin our last unit.  We will study Economics!  Career day helped us learn about different jobs!  We will talk about wants versus needs, good and services and careers!!

Thank you!!
