A few important dates to mark down on the calendar…
Tuesday, April 8 ~ Fieldtrip to ASF to see Goodnight Moon. This fieldtrip has already been paid for. Please make sure to send in permission slips.
Wednesday, April 16 ~ Easter Egg Hunt at 1:30. Please make sure to send in 20 eggs by Monday, April 14.
Thursday, April 24 ~ K-3 Field Day. A letter for volunteers will go home as soon as Coach Grant gives them to us. :) He always needs volunteers!
Thursday, May 15 ~ First Grade Water Day. We will send home a letter when it gets closer to the date.
First Grade Honor’s Day will be at the end of May, but a date has not yet been determined.
Our grade level t-shirts came in and can be worn every Tuesday and/or Friday with jeans.
The Book Fair will end on this Wednesday, April 9.
Reading ~ We will begin Unit 4 this week. A new homework sheet will be added. I cannot stress enough how important it is that your child can read the ten important sentences on the front as well as be able to decode the words on the back. The story for this week is called Mama’s Birthday Present.
Language ~ Daily Fix-Its for each story come home every day on their morning work. This is a grade every Friday. Students are editing sentences {fixing capital letters, misspelled words, adding punctuation.} This week the students will be introduced to Adjectives and we will talk about them for the next five weeks.
Spelling ~ Please look for the Unit 4 Spelling list in your child’s take home notebook. This will carry us to the end of the year. Remember, spelling tests are every Friday. This should be an easy “A!”
Math ~ Ch. 12, 2-D Shapes. We have learned the characteristics of a circle, triangle, square, rectangle, trapezoid, hexagon. We have also had a fun time using mental math to combine shapes to make new shapes. I am amazed everyday at what these children know. A review sheet will come home the night before the test and it will also be written on their homework chart.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me! Have a great week ~ Kristin :)
