Monsters
Last Friday our high school art teacher, Mr. Binert, came in to begin a project with our class. Our first graders created a monster for him to take back to his ceramics class. The high school students in his ceramics class will be creating a monster from our drawing and bringing in to our 1st grade artist!!!! Such an exciting project! Thank you Mr. Binert for thinking of us.

April’s poetry month is trickling into May! We are having so much fun writing and reading poetry that we are just going to keep on enjoying this genre! If your family has not had the opportunity to do so already. Please jot down your favorite poem and bring it in to school. Or create your own poem to share with our class!!

Wow! I can not believe how quickly the end of the school year is approaching! Keep an eye out for all of the notes coming home regarding all of the great events occurring this month.
