First Grade News!

Please remember we will be going to the Let’s Pretend Hospital tomorrow.  Wear your green first grade shirt and jeans or khakis.  We are looking forward to a fun time.  Also, remember tomorrow is Monday if you would like to purchase Italian Ice send your money in a envelope or baggie (labeled).

Now on to some fun learning!

This week our focus sound is /g/ as in gorilla. 

Word wall words ~ big, so, saw, go, tells, there, got, them, no, white

Please read each night with your sweet little firstie! Each friend should be taking at least 3 AR test each week. 

We will begin Chapter 21 on Fractions tomorrow.  The students will learn how to identify parts of a whole with two, three, or four equal parts.  Please also continue to practice Math Facts in a Flash.  The children are really doing a great job.  The Blount Math Store will open soon and each student will receive money (Blount Bucks) to spend at the store.  I will send home a letter explaining how the children earn their Blount Bucks soon.

We will be working on Rule 15 contractions this week.  We have already done a lot with contractions this year, so this is not a new skill.  Remember to look at your child’s DOL on Monday and Wednesday nights.  Friday’s grade will be some of the exact sentences.

Thank you for joining us for Muffins for Moms.  Donuts for Dads will be Tuesday, March 6 and Wednesday, March 7. More information is on the front of February's Blount Newsletter.

Class picture money is due this Friday. Checks made payable to Capitol Filmworks.

I will be out of the room on Tuesday.  I will leave detailed plans so the day should go as smooth as if I were there.

Thursday, February 29 ~ Wear a Silly Hat (or a regular hat will do) to school.

Friday, March 1 ~ The Book Character Parade at 9:30. Come dressed as your favorite Book Character. Please make sure you  have a sign to tell us what character you are! Or better yet, if you  have the book, just bring it!

The sign for the Character Book parade is simple. Wear one around your neck or you may carry the book if you have it. The sign must have the character and the name of the book.  The parade starts promptly at 9:30. parents will go to the lunchroom so be sure to allow time to sign in at the office.

Have a great week and let me know if you have any questions!!

Valentine Fun in Room 123!

Hugs!
