Hi First Grade Families! We took some time to read Skippy Jon Jones this week to get ready for the play. The children loved the books! We also enjoyed the play on Friday!
Math: We have started Unit 3. We are focusing on math mountains and equations with unknown parts. We are practicing unknown partners with both addition and subtraction.
Reading: We read a lot of Skippy Jon Jones this week. We made a diagram to compare and contrast the different books we had read. We also made a book about families.
Writing: We are continuing to work on small moment stories. We also took some time to write about Skippy Jon Jones.
Science/Social Studies: We wrapped up animals in winter and are moving onto families. If you have not yet sent in a picture of your family, please send one soon!
Housekeeping Items:
- Thank you for filling out the blue logs about your child’s book bag! Even if I do not respond, I do read the notes and take them into account when picking books for your child. It definitely helps me make the best choice!
- We will be switching to different logs that should be easier to fill out. I will show you what they look like at conferences.
- Please try to read with your child each night. It really makes a difference! I know some of the children want to read all of their books the first night. It is more than okay to re-read books again or to find other books you may have at home.
- No newsletter next week because it is a short week.
- Just a reminder, we will not be dressing up on Halloween.
- We started Panther Clubs this week. These are groups made up of all the first graders. The children are put in the clubs based on their needs. The club is 30 minutes long Monday – Thursday.
- Thank you to those of you that came to conferences last night! It’s so great to talk about how your child is doing! I will see the rest of you Tuesday!

- 10/25 Parent–Teacher Conferences
-10/27 and 10/28 No School
