Celebrate!

Looks like it is going to be a chilly week.  Make sure your first graders is prepared for recess.  Just a reminder: if your child is too sick to participate in recess then they are too sick to come to school.

We had an elf delivery from the North Pole last week.  They named him Chippy. The kids are journaling the elf's behavior everyday and he is watching theirs.  I am hoping that elf doesn't get too crazy.

We continue to work on informational writing. We will focus on word wall words, revising, and editing.

In math, we are going to start investigating tens and ones.  There will be a lot of counting going on this week. Don't be surprised if your child starts grouping and counting everything.

In reading, Our essential question is  "How you find your way around?". We will learn about common nouns, proper nouns, synonyms, and antonyms.

We finished our first part of exploring sound.  The kids made phones and experimented with the best way to get sound to travel.  We begin exploring light this week.

We filled our marble jar!!!  The students picked a celebration and we will be having a movie, popcorn, and stuffed animal party on Friday.  Make sure the stuffed animal is small enough to fit in their backpack along with everything else in it.

We also won the Boxtop contest for the first part of the year!  Thank you parents!  Keep them coming.  We won a doughnut party.   Date to celebrate has not yet been decided.

Have a great week!
