First Grade Weekly News 11-25-13
8:41 AM
Very short week this week...but there are more than a few updates below so take a peek!
The Dec. newsletter has been uploaded to the website, and will be sent home this week before Thanksgiving break so you can get a heads up on whats to come. Please Please Please read through it.
There will be NO HOMEWORK this week since we only have 2 days of school. However, I will keep books in the kids kiwi bags so please make sure they are still reading over break. Reading testing for 2nd quarter will start the 2nd week of Dec. and we want to see them go up in levels.
Another note about homework- please make sure you are finding a time during the week to sit down with your child and get it completed. I know we all have busy lives, but if we treat homework and school like an important priority they will too. The activities that I send home that go along with the Family Times will help with weekly spelling :).
There are going to be a lot of Dec. birthdays due to some of the kiddos half birthdays falling in that month. If your child's birthday is on a day we don't have school, then we will have it the day before we leave or after we get back. Depending on what day it is in our 6 day rotation schedule, we will either have snack at 2:05 or 3:00 so I will be trying to contact you about how you would like to celebrate, unless you contact me first :)
Some of the kiddos are still struggling with tying their own shoes. Please make sure this is something you are working on at home if your child has not mastered this skill yet. They should be able to do it independently.
I will be trying to update and upload all the pictures from our Halloween party over Thanksgiving Break.
If you have any questions or concerns please call or email me. Have a great Thanksgiving break :)
