5/5/2019 0 Comments Week of May 6-10Dear families, The first grade students have been working diligently on their published books. They completed writing and illustrating their stories. In the past few days, the children edited book covers and the Author's bio pages. They are eager to unveil their masterpieces! We then discussed the outline for the Bookworm project. Each student chose possible characters, from their reading selections, to represent during the celebration. Please look over your child's choices and help them select a suitable character. Then, help your child create the costume at home. The written piece of this project will be completed at school. We look forward to seeing you soon! Seema Curriculum Highlights Mathematics
