Hi there my first grade friends!
Being on vacation has made me lose track of the days! I just realized that today is Saturday and I missed writing to you yesterday. I hope you are having a lot of fun on summer vacation! I spent a few extra days cleaning up and organizing the classroom. Everything was moved off the carpet so the machines could clean it really well. The classroom looks so different empty. This just made me think of the Mrs. Wishy Washy book, The Scrubbing Machine, ha, ha!
Have you done a little bit of your summer homework yet? Try not to think of this as something you have to do, but instead take pride in keeping your skills fresh in your mind! This way you will be ready to jump into first grade and take off running! That's a funny saying. It means that you will be ready to learn new things in first grade.
I had some worry this past week as my dad had to have surgery and be in the hospital for a week, but he is recovering well and he got to go home yesterday!
My biggest excitement so far is that I bought some new boxes for books in the classroom. It made me very happy to find these!
I miss you all!
Love, Mrs. Prowse :)
