Dear First
Grade Families,
We
completed our first theme test this week. Theme tests help determine how
your child is doing in reading fluency, reading comprehension, phonics
and decoding, and writing. I will work on grading the tests next week so
they will come home to you next Friday.
In
math this week we learned about the penny and nickel. We practiced
counting pennies and nickels alone and together. We played a penny
nickel exchange game, and we learned how to write and solve number
models.
We
completed our first health unit this week. We learned about all the ways
we can keep our bodies healthy. We learned how to cover our cough and
sneeze. We got to see what happens to our teeth if we don’t take care of
them by looking at some eggs that were soaking in different liquids.
Have your child tell you about this.
I
haven’t been feeling well so I had to cancel our walk to the public
library for today. I stayed home to rest up for next week.

We
will be walking to the Onekama Fire Department to learn about fire
safety on Thursday, October 28th. We will leave school at
about 11:40 and we will return around 1:30. If you are available to join
us for this fieldtrip please let me know.
We
should be all set for our Halloween party next Friday, Oct. 29th.
I will have the kids begin getting into their costumes around 12:00. If
you are available to help, feel free to come join us at 12:00. If your
child’s costume has a weapon please leave the weapon at home.
Questions to
ask your child this week are the following:
-
How much
is a penny worth? How much is a nickel worth?
-
What are
some things we can do to stay healthy?
-
Can you
write a number model for the following number story?
I hope you all
have a nice weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lyman |
