McElheny Moments

Yearbooks were delivered today to students who ordered and paid for them. I put all yearbooks into mailboxes. Some students took the yearbooks out in the classroom to look at them. At the end of the day, one student who had ordered and paid for one could not find hers. If you find that your child brought a yearbook home by accident and did not pay for one, please send it back in tomorrow and I will give it to the student it belongs to. If your child accidently brought home two by mistake, again, please send it back into school tomorrow. Thank you, Mrs. McElheny

Just a reminder, we will be having our plant eating party tomorrow afternoon. Each child was given a food item to bring in for this. We will be eating every part of a plant including seeds, stems, roots, flowers, leaves, and fruit. Your child may even try something they have never tried before. What fun!!

We had a wonderful time on our field trip. The weather was absolutely perfect! Enjoy the pictures!!

I just posted our last classroom newsletter for the year. I hope you have enjoyed reading about all of our classroom adventures this year. Enjoy!!

Excited first grade friends in costume waiting to march in the vocabulary parade. Enjoy the pictures!

I just posted a current newsletter for you to enjoy. In an effort to save paper, the classroom newsletters from now until the end of the school year will all be on the classroom blog. I will not be sending a hard copy home.

Despite the rain, the kids had a great time! Enjoy the photos!

Just a reminder that tomorrow is “Laps for Letort.” Please make sure your child is dressed comfortably and has on shoes for walking/running. Also, all animal books/research report outlines are due back tomorrow so that I have time to edit them over the weekend. We will be writing final copies on Monday. One more reminder… I need to have all field trip forms/money by tomorrow. If you have a hardship, please don’t hesitate to let me know so that I am able to help you out. Thanks for all of your support at home. It’s really getting busy as we gear up for the end of the school year. Hang on!!

The boys and girls earned enough gems for a class reward. They voted for “Pajama Day.” So, on Thursday, May 2nd, your child is permitted to wear their pajamas to school. Please make sure your child does have comfortable shoes to wear out to the playground for recess.

Because of all of the snow days and late start we had this week, I pushed the spelling test back to Wednesday, February 19th. Also, the students earned enough gems for a class reward. They voted to have a “Stuffed Animal Day.” So, Tuesday the students are permitted to bring a stuffed animal along with them to school. It’s been good to be back finally. I’m getting back into the “swing of things” quickly!!
