This Week In First Grade

We are all settling in to a nice routine. This week we finished reviewing the alphabet in Reading and have read poetry. Today we had a Reading quiz on letters and sounds. We have also been learning sight word songs and doing dictations.

In Math we have been working on comparing numbers and using the number line to count up and back. We started homework this week. Please make sure they are completing their work and bringing it back to school the following day.

Mrs. McCleskey has been teaching the kids about the equator and Northern and Southern Hemispheres in Social Studies. Mrs. Rutter gave the first writing assessment and all First Graders are now writing about what they would want if they had a fairy godmother. This correlates with the Cinderella stories we have read. We have also been learning about Habitats in Science. We completed the Desert and Polar lands we will will be finishing up the Rainforest habitat next week.

The Friday folders that came home today have the new handbook from the school.

Thanks for all you do as parents.

Homework

Tonight's homework is to fill the brown bag with four items that represent your child. We will reveal the items in each bag tomorrow and the students will try and match the items to the correct classmates. This activity will be a good way to learn more about one another.
