Week 9 Update
Dear Parents,
We planted some seeds this past
week and are experimenting with some seeds that have no soil to grow in and
some that have no light. Ask your child about where our seeds are located in
the classroom. We started some work reading non-fiction books about spiders. In
writing, we told our stories in “itsy bitsy” parts like the itsy bitsy spider
song. We worked on retell based on Diary of a Spider by Doreen Cronin
and Scarecrow by Cynthia Rylant.
We went to the computer lab and started using a fact fluency program
called Xtra math. We will be using it a few times in school and then I will be
sending home information so the students can work on it at home as well.
HOMEWORK: Thank you for
helping your child read each night and fill out their calendar. I have copied
the calendars back to back to save paper. Unfortunately, I forgot to send them
home with the kids on Friday, so they will be coming home tomorrow. Feel free
to attach a slip of paper with reading info rather than rewriting book titles.
Thanks!
PROJECT: I hope you and your families are enjoying
working on the Family Unit project. Your child brought home information about
this last Wednesday. The project is due
next Tuesday, November 19th.
Feel free to send it in early if you are done. J We can’t wait to share them!
PARENT VISITS: We will be celebrating American Education Week
on Tuesday November 19th from 11 – 12 in our classroom with a
variety of lessons and activities to give you a sample of what first grade is
all about! We hope you can join us.
DECEMBER CELEBRATION: We
would like to invite you to decorate gingerbread houses with us on Wednesday
December 18th from 2:15 – 3:15 pm. This is a change from our
originally planned celebration. There is a conflict with the Eagle December
Assembly on the 22nd. I apologize for the inconvenience and hope
that you will be able to join us.
I hope you and your family have had
a wonderful long weekend together. Looking forward to a fun filled week ahead! - Kristin
