The Valentine’s Day party was a hit! We had lots of fun playing “pin the heart” and eating ice cream sundaes. Thanks to Mrs. Cayer and parents for putting it together. :) And of course, thank you for all my wonderful treats!
Please send in permission slips and money for our field trip to the Davis Theatre!
Wednesday will be the only day to turn in money for a First grade level t-shirt. No Exceptions will be made. If you would like for your child to have one please send in $12.00 with a size marked. If a size is not marked I will do my best to guess for you! These shirts are optional and may be worn with jeans on Tuesdays for the remainder of the school year.
Class pictures will be taken on Thursday, February 20th. Students will wear their school uniform. If you would like to purchase one, please pay by Wednesday.
READING: Ruby in Her Own Time GENRE: Animal Fantasy
Homework stories will be placed in their notebook. Please make sure your child can read the sentences and the words on the back fluently. Also, please review their word wall words!
SPELLING: Words are in take home folder. Please make sure your child can spell these by Friday for their Spelling Test.
LANGUAGE: Verbs that add –s and compound words. Ex. butterfly, ladybug, snowman
MATH: We are skipping around a lot in Ch. 9 Some of the skills in the lessons will not be included on the test so we are spending more time mastering what will be on the test. We have begun time. We will learn how to tell time to the hour and half hour. This is always a fun skill to introduce and teach. Find an analog clock to keep handy so you can have your child tell you the time every hour and half hour. Make this fun! :)
AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK is coming up. We will celebrate READING and Dr. Seuss’ birthday. We will have a school wide character parade and give the students an opportunity to come to school creatively dressed as their favorite book character. The parade will be held on Friday, March 7th at 2:00. I will give more details as it gets closer but be brainstorming a creative character for your child! Remember, this is NOT an opportunity to wear a Halloween costume! Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions of concerns. Have a great short week!
