*I hope to see many of you on Monday night (September 19th) from 6-6:45pm for First Grade Curriculum Night. We will quickly chat about curriculum and spend time learning about important information for all parents to know. Please note, we ask that parents come without children in order to discuss what to expect in first grade.
*September 21st is International Day of Peace. We hope you enjoy our display of peaceful pinwheels outside when you arrive for Curriculum Night on Monday.
*If students have not returned "Writing Ideas" please send into school. We will be using these ideas for writing throughout the school year. Please continue to send it sticky notes on Mondays to help students remember what they did over the weekend. Every Monday, we will write about our weekend and share with our classmates. Some students get stuck on what to write about and having a reminder from home will be helpful.
*Our Focus in Math This Week:
*data collection
*counting by 1s and 5s
*exploring math materials
*solving simple number stories
*counting larger numbers
*In Science this week, we will explore how animal's body parts help them. Students will see how animals fur, blubber or feathers keep an animal warm. They will then create a glove using materials that will keep their hands warm in cold water. Students will record which material kept their hand the warmest.
*We will continue building the components of the Daily 5. Students are building their stamina in Read to Self and Work on Writing. We will introduce Read to Someone this week.
*In Writing, we will discuss what to do when you think you're done with a piece of writing and how to continue a story. We will also explore how you can use known words to spell tricky words.
