We did it! We made it through 172 days of first grade! It has been a great year. Hope everyone has a fun and restful summer. Keep reading, writing, and practicing math skills over the summer.
Mrs. DaMommio, our 5th grade teacher, was able to write a grant and get us enough books to where each student at Summitt was able to choose and pick 3 books to keep to read over the summer!
In Mrs. Skalaban’s class, the kids did a research over sea
animals. They made a sea creature out of recycle materials and shared their
writing with friends in the class.
In VLA, we continued our last blends and read The Three
Little Bears. If you want to continue to practice Vietnamese, you can go to

We had fun with our May Fun calendar. Here is a picture of
Backwards Day and DEAR Day. On Backwards Day, Suzanne and I thought it would be
fun to swtich it up and do the schedule reversed so my homeroom started with
her in the morning, and I started with her homeroom in the morning.
For the last three weeks of school in math, we practiced double
digits addition and subtraction for fluency. For some of my other kiddos, we
started learning how to borrow and regroup. I’m so proud of the progress the
kids have made in first grade. That is one part of why I love teaching first
grade so much. It’s such a rewarding grade to teach because expectations are so
high and you see the tremendous growth in the kids from the beginning of the
school year til the end of the school year.
We got to watch the 3rd graders launch their rockets
outside. I know a lot of the students are excited to do this when they get to 3rd
grade. 
We had bead store blowout to use all of our beads before the
year ended. That means the kids were able to buy unlimited items until they
used up all their beads. The kids had a blast shopping around the room for
items.
