Just a reminder that we will be having our open house virtually this year with a Google Hangouts Meet on Wednesday, October 7th from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. You can click this link to join the call for any part of the hour to say hello and ask any questions you might be having.
I look forward to meeting you all next week.
Thank You,

Well we are almost through our first week of school. Considering how new and different our daily routine looks this year, I would say that we all made it through with flying colors.
It is nice to have small groups of 7 to work with each day. Everyone has adjusted very quickly to all of the new classroom and school rules. We are having music every day for 30 minutes for trimester one. Art will come in trimester 2 and p.e. in trimester 3.
Don’t forget to send in a water bottle and snack every day. Send in a light jacket for recess and a lanyard for the face mask. Also don’t forget your home/school folders every day.
Email me with any questions, concerns, or comments.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sturgis
Throughout the year, we have been very lucky to have many parents come in and read to our class on Friday’s. We really love having special guests share our classroom time. Here are a few pictures of some of our famous readers.

On March 4th we had a school-wide literacy night. It was a super fun night with free Dr. Seuss hats, bookmarks, games, book fair, pizza, and cake for all. Plus, students got a free book and a chance to win door prizes. Here are a few pictures from the event.

March 2nd was Read Across America Day. We had a special visit by a very special “Cat in the Hat.” We also had book buddies with some pre-K kiddos. We had some special guest readers. Plus, we made our own Dr. Seuss hats.

In February we also had a special visit from Chewonki. They brought three owls to show to us along with some artifacts. It was a great way to add to all of the information we had been learning about while reading books. Thank you to our PTF for funding this special presentation.

It took a while with all of the bad weather and missed school days, but we finally had our 100th day of school on Feb. 26th. We had some special treats and activities throughout the day. At the end of the day, students shared their collections of 100 things with our class and some family members.

In November we had a fun Thanksgiving Feast in honor of the one that took place between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans. We had quite a spread with the samplings that each student brought in to share. Many family members joined in the fun activities.

In November, the first grade class won a cupcake decorating contest by the PTF. I think it was for bringing in the most box tops, but I can’t remember for sure. It was a yummy activity!

Here are some pictures from October during fire prevention week. Fire Chief Andrews and the nice firefighters from Warren brought their firetruck to WCS for a presentation.
