Hi First Grade Families! The first snowfall brought a lot of excitement to our room! We also learned about Veteran’s Day and had a wonderful Veteran’s Day assembly on Friday. We also wrote a thank you to the Veterans and made our own American flags with our fingerprints. We wrapped up families this week as well.

Math: We finished Unit 3 this week. We had fun reviewing through our math stations on Wednesday. We will begin Unit 4 next week. Our first focus will be groupings of ten and addition with the teen numbers.

Reading: We did some more reading about families this week. We also made a house together and wrote about our own homes. Ms. Amanda had the children create their own leaf creature as well! Next week we will start reading about maps and globes.

Writing: The children wrote thank you letters to the veterans this week. We also wrote about our families.

Science/Social Studies: We wrapped up families this week. Our next focus will be maps and globes.

Housekeeping Items:

-     I am starting to assess the children on their reading level. Please keep up the reading each night! It is very important that your child reads every night.

-     Continue to fill out those November reading calendars! I would love to have everyone attend lunch bunch this time!

-     As we saw this week, the weather is quickly getting colder. Please make sure your child is dressed for outside play each day. This means snow pants, boots, warm coats, gloves and hats. Also, please remember to pack shoes for your child to change into when he/she gets here!

Important Dates:

- 11/15 Early Release – 12:30 dismissal

- 11/23, 11/24, 11/25 – No School

If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with me! Have a fun weekend!
