A note from Mrs. Chern…. I hope everyone had a wonderful track out. Happy Mother’s Day!

The kids made you a special gift. If they didn’t already give it to them remind them to on Sunday. It’s

been a while and they may not remember where they “hid” it from you. We have 7 weeks left of 1st

grade. Let’s make them amazing.

So far, 7 families have signed up for Spring Student Led Conferences. The kids work really hard to get things to together to share with you what they are learning in school. Plenty of slots left. Click HERE to get to the Sign Up Genius at Brassfield Elem. If you need a time at Green Road Library let me know and I will let you know which slots are left.

Writing: Author’s Choice (narrative, informational, opinion), what do you need to include which

each type of writing
