A New Beginning!

On Friday we changed desks, got new crayons and new glue to start the beginning of the new nine weeks in First Grade! We are ready!!

 

This week our sound will be /w/ as in wind.  Our word wall words are: we, was, don’t, off & right.  Please make sure that your child can read ALL word wall words that have been introduced this year upon sight.  (instantly)

We will begin learning all about Nouns this week. (Grammar Rule 9) 

We will begin Chapter 3 on Subtraction.  We will still review addition facts daily and will continue to practice our Math Facts in a Flash.  Check your child’s take home notebook to see what lesson we did in class each day.  Please continue to practice flash cards at home each night.  We want the children to memorize their addition facts, we are working on not using counters or our fingers.

• A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped to make our Fall Festival a success.  I think everyone had a great time and our PTA is the best!
• Another BIG thank you to all the parents and grandparents who joined us on our field trip to the Pumpkin Patch.  Everyone had such a fun time and I bet it is safe to say everyone slept well that night! I know I did!!
• This week is Red Ribbon Week.  We will celebrate making healthy choices for our bodies.  Each day has a theme to emphasize

“SAY NO TO DRUGS!”

Monday:  "We are proud to be drug free"  Classes make red chains to hang outside their classroom to show they are drug free.  Each student will sign his/her link in the chain.  The children are asked to wear a RED uniform shirt.

Tuesday:  "Sock it to drugs and slip into good character"  Students wear crazy socks and slippers.

Wednesday: "Hats off to not using drugs"  Students wear their favorite hat to show they are drug free.

Thursday: "We are too cool to do drugs"  Students will wear their sunglasses to shade out drugs. 

Friday:  "Team up against drugs"  Students wear their favorite team's jersey.

• Tomorrow Nancy’s Ice will be for sell for $1.00 please make sure you send your money in a baggie or an envelope marked with your sweet firstie’s name!

Thanks for sharing your precious children with me! Have a wonderful week and as always please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
