Dear Families,
It was so nice to see so many of you at last night's Cinco De Mayo concert celebration. I am always amazed when there is standing room only. The children are so supported and loved in our Woolwich community. Thank you!
This week has been a mix of egg layers, farm life and frogs. Always a busy time of year. So many hands-on experiences and excitement of 1st grade looms close!
MONDAY- FIELD TRIP TO WOLFE'S NECK FARM. DRESS FOR ANY WEATHER! If you signed up to chaperone please sign the enclosed waiver and bring in on Monday~Thank you!

During writing time they are; writing to Pittston pen pals, visualizing places and people to write about, adding words (letters) to their pictures, rehearsing what they want to say about what they wrote, taking turns sharing their ideas and writing with partners, adding spaces between words and punctuation at the end of a sentence, going back into their writing pieces and revising what they have written by changing or adding to what they wrote and continuing to build up their confidence as writers.
Animated Alphabet is our approach to phonemic awareness and spelling. The letters are taught through a multi sensory approach of music, dance, characters and signs which help the students hold onto that information. We have been writing words and sentences using our characters.
In math we are getting familiar with our 1-110 number grid and playing fun “I Spy” games trying to find out the number, playing with standard and nonstandard measurement, working with two digit numbers, formation of numbers, addition and subtraction practice, counting and number recognition, solving number stories, and continuing our calendar routines. Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school and days of the week.
We are learning about the Woolwich Way! The Woolwich Way is made up of 6 qualities that will help us to be the best we can be! (Courtesy- I can use good manners, Compassion-I can help others, Respect- I can treat others kindly, Honesty-I can tell the truth, Responsibility- I can take care of myself and my stuff, Quality- I can do my best even when things are hard)
Upcoming Events:
Happy Mother's Day!
