I am sure you have heard all about the arrival of our 12 chick eggs this week. This is always a fun 1st grade project and we can’t wait to see these eggs hatch. We are keeping a daily log on what is going on inside the eggs and we are excited to go to Callahan’s and learn how we can take care of these chicks once they hatch.

It was a great week after spring break. It sounds like you all had a fun time with family, friends and did a lot of fun things. I was very happy to be back in the classroom too! I want to compliment each and everyone one of your kiddos. They have been so sweet and helpful with me this week. I am very proud of each one of them! Along with the chicks, we also started earning some classroom money this week! It is a great way for them to understand financial responsibility. They earn money by showing up each day but also by doing great work throughout the day. I have also told them that they can earn bonuses for reading each night. If they meet their 5 nights of reading goal they can earn a nickle. They are excited to earn their money and to eventually use it!

Remember we have our field trip on Monday!

I hope you have a great weekend!
