It's hard to believe it is already September! Time flies when you're having fun, and we have been having fun in first grade! Here are some recent and soon-to-be happenings in our class:
We have our first reading and writing celebration tomorrow to remember strategies and successes from the past few weeks! Monday we will start our "Just-Right Books" reading unit and our "Writing for Readers" writing unit.
In Science, we've been studying animals and will start our plant unit next week.
In Math, we're continuing to practice counting, comparing numbers, and recognizing and developing patterns. We'll also be doing a lot of adding and subtracting in the coming weeks.
We will continue to add six new words to the word wall each week. These are the spelling words written on the index card attached to the homework packet. Please practice these at home. There is a spelling quiz every Friday.
In Bible we will learn a new characteristic of God every week. There is a corresponding Bible verse that will be on the index card as well. Please practice and memorize at home. Scripture memorization is part of the Bible grade (and it's just wonderful to know them by heart!).
Important Dates:
Thursday, September 9th--HIS Parent Meeting
Tuesday, September 14th--Half-day (dismissal at 12:00 noon)
Monday, September 20th--Holiday (no classes)
A very happy birthday to these lions:
Danna--September 5th
Sanjay--September 8th
Progress reports will go home next week. Please take a look to see how your child is doing thus far, sign, and return. Thanks to you parents for your support of your children, of me as their teacher, and of the school! You are treasures!
