Welcome back to school first grade families! We hope you all had a restful week off and are ready to dive into our second quarter! Thank you to everyone who stopped to chat for conferences these pasts few days. The partnership between teacher and parent is so vital and we are humbled by everything you have done for your child as well as the classroom. Our next big day will be Literary Character Day on October 31st. If you have not already done so please ensure that you send in the approval slip for your child. If you have lost it please email your child's teacher directly for approval. Many characters cross over from the pop culture of Disney to classic fairy tale. These characters are appropriate, however please avoid costumes with Disney emblems or anything manufactured as Disney. We love seeing pieced together representations of all of our princesses!
First grade will be easing into the second quarter with only reading homework this week. We will be introducing new phonograms and reviewing proper letter formation.
In literature we will begin Sleeping Beauty and taking a closer look at story elements. This week we will focus on sequencing events.
Unit 6 in math focuses on numbers to twenty. This week's lessons will cover counting to twenty and number order.
During science we will continue to learn about habitats. This week we discuss the forest and will construct an owl book.
History continues to lead us through exciting events in ancient Egypt. We will learn who King Tut was and how Howard Carter's discovery of the tomb led to fame for this "boy king"
We are looking forward to a happy and healthy remainder of the week with your children!
-The First Grade Team
