Happy New Year!

I hope you had a great winter break! I sure enjoyed it but I am excited to get back to teaching and see all of my students.

This week we will begin unit 3 of our reading series. It is called, "In My Neighborhood," and focuses on social studies themes, "How communities are alike and different, how jobs affect a community, and how geography and economics affect the way people work and play in a community."

Spelling words are getting a little hard. Please make sure you are help your child practice nightly.

In math, we will begin our tens and ones unit and wrap up Quarter 2 skills. Can you believe we're already almost half way through the year?!

In writing, we will give our writing assessments for how-to, opinion, and informational pieces. We will also begin our Opinion unit. First graders are usually pretty good at opinions, but we are excited to begin teaching them how to use facts to support their opinions.

We will be spending some time reviewing school and classroom rules. That means high expectations from all staff at Bitterroot.

Looking forward to a fabulous week!
