1st grade weekly news 12-16-14
Brrrrrr!!!!! This week is crazy...but short! Take a peek below...
No homework this week!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have your child read over break. They have put in a lot of hard work to get to the level they are at right now, and no reading over the break could drop them back down. Read books from home, or feel free to get on RAZKids...they have their new updated level ready to go!
Splash Math would also be a good thing for them to do a few times over break. It will help them continue to work on their math skills while not at school. I will be looking to see who has logged on, and if they do over break, they can earn 1 pirate coin, and 1 pirates gold when they return!
Thursday is Pajama Day! So your child is allowed to wear their pajamas to school. They earned this by doing a nice job in the cafeteria during lunch! This is a half day so dismissal will be at 11:30.
Friday is our Winter party and sing-a-long in the gym. The sing-a-long starts at 9:45 and the party will follow at 10:00. Room parents who have helped plan the party can set up for the party during the sing-a-long. Parents and family members are welcome to attend. Dismissal will be at 11:30. If you plan on taking your child with you, you will need to sign them out in the office.
If you have any questions please feel free to call or email me! Have a wonderful holiday!

1st grade weekly news 12-9-14
Hi everyone! Winter break is creeping near! Just a few things...
There will be NO HOMEWORK next week! But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure your child is reading at home...ESPECIALLY OVER WINTER BREAK. All of the kids have made so much progress this last quarter and we don't want to see any regression. Use the strategy sheets that are in the kiwi bag while reading.
Both December 18th and 19th will be half days of school. Therefore, dismissal will be at 11:30 both days.
Our Winter party is on Friday, Dec. 19th. The sing-a-long will start at 9:45, and the party will begin at 10:00 in our classroom. If you would like to take your child home after the party that is fine, but please make sure you sign them out in the office.
Our free trial for Splash Math has expired. Therefore, it has now been purchased! Please use it at home to practice all first grade math standards. It is a great educational website, and has a lot to offer parents, teachers, and students. The kids will also be using it here in the classroom during our math block, and during free time.
There are a few student supplies running low. At the beginning of the year the kids brought two sets of crayons, so I will be giving them their brand new set before they leave for break. However, markers have gotten lost, or dried out and might need to be replaced. Talk with your child to see if they need a new set. They can bring them in anytime before break and we will put names on them. As far as pencils, glue sticks, and dry-erase markers we are good to go! Thank you to all of the parents who graciously donate supplies and needed items to the classroom. It is appreciated!!!
If you have any questions please feel free to call or email me!
