NEWS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 14th...

We are having so much fun in 1st Grade!  I am enjoying every moment during the day with your child!  They truly are a bright group of kiddos.  I sent math homework home today for Tuesday night and Thursday night.  Please return it on Friday morning.  I realize that I have a great deal of working parents in my classroom and I know how challenging it can be for homework to come home one night and be due the very next day.  I'm a working mom too!!!!  With that said, please just return the work on Fridays!!!!  

We started math tubs last week and the kids really have been enjoying them.  We focus on reviewing what we have been learning in class for math tubs and it is a great way for them to feel more secure in what they are learning in whole group and small group math time.   Literacy Centers started today and they DID EXCELLENT!!!!  I was so proud of them.  

This week we are focusing on:

Math- sets of 10 and UPS CHECK

Language Arts - "ide" chunk, Poetry, and our spelling words are and, have and I

Reading- We are learning strategies.  Books are coming home this week.  But some of them I have not had a chance to read with them.  Please read with your child every night.  

S.S. - It is Constitution Week.  We are also learning about about how to be a good Citizen. 

Science- We are still studying the 5 senses.  PLEASE DON'T FORGET THE 5 SENSES BAG DUE THIS WEEK!!!!
