Halloween Party: Thank
you! The Halloween Party was a huge
success. The kids really enjoyed the
games and crafts. It was fun to see some
of them try to sneak in with their fangs on Thursday morning. J
Canned Food Drive: The
canned food drive officially begins on Monday, but we have already had some
donations so we are off to a good start.
Reading: We continue to
work on strategies to help with accuracy, fluency, and comprehension. We have also been working on retells and
sequencing story events. Continue to
read and practice these skills at home.
We will be doing our mid-year testing most likely before Christmas
break.
Math: We will be taking
our Unit 3 test next week. We started
counting combinations of dimes, pennies, and nickels this week. We also continue to work with frames and
arrows and figuring out the rules in these problems.
Writing: We are working
on focusing our small moment stories and adding details as well as capitals at
the beginning and periods at the end.
Ask your first grader to sing the song!
Social Studies: We are
finishing our unit on Egypt. Our science
unit on the human body is next.
