Dear First
Grade Families,
This week during shared reading we learned to read the story My Five
Senses by Margaret Miller. We made a 5 senses book and read
together, we learned some new words to put on our word wall, we used one
sense at a time to play a few games, and today we used all our senses to
make applesauce!
In
math this week we learned about the thermometer and we are now recording
the temperature each day during calendar. We learned 4 ways to solve
addition number stories and made a number story class book. We
completed our first progress check. Graded tests came home today. You
will see two copies of the test. I make a copy of the tests so I can
grade them, but also give your child the opportunity to erase and fix
any mistakes when we go over the test as a class. If your child had
difficulty with any of the concepts on the test please practice at home.
Please read the letter that explains concepts your child will be
learning in Unit 2.
Homework will begin on Monday, October 4th as I stated in
last week’s letter. Please make sure your child has a 2-pocket folder
for their homework. Please read over the homework expectations so you
know and understand our homework routine. If you have any questions
please let me know.
I
have received a few things from my wish list. I will still accept any
items you are willing to donate. I have most everything we will need for
our Halloween party except a drink and some healthy snacks. If you are
willing to bring any items for snack time please let me know. |
We
will be walking to the fire department to be a part of a fire safety
presentation on Thursday, October 28th. We will be leaving by
12:00. If you are available to walk down there with us please let me
know.
Mrs. Hrachovina would like you to know that our day for checking out
books will be Tuesday. Please look for library books every Tuesday. Your
child can enjoy these books for the week. Please be sure to return them
by the following Tuesday so they can get new books.
I
needed to make some changes to the volunteer schedule. If you are signed
up to help in our classroom you received a new schedule today.
Questions to ask your child this week are the following:
1)
What does a thermometer measure?
2)
Can you tell me 1 way to solve an addition number story?
3)
Can you use the following words in a sentence? We, have, see
Have a good weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lyman
