Dear First Grade
Families,
We have
started some review this week. We are making a special alphabet book to
review the letters and sounds. We are also reviewing how to write each
letter in our journals.
We have
started our math curriculum. Students have received their math journals
and completed their first page. They have also received their tool kit
and their first tool, the pattern block template. They used the template
to make a picture.
During
shared reading this week students learned to read Annie, Bea, and Chi
Chi Delores by Donna Maurer. We completed a variety of activities
together including a class book and body spelling new words we learned.
We have
one snack time in the afternoon after recess. Please be sure to pack
your child a healthy snack each day.
You
received the first book order of the year. I try to send home book
orders once a month. Please look at the book choices and if there are
books you think your child would enjoy please fill-out the order form
and send it back to me with a check. Checks need to be made out to
scholastic. Please DO NOT send cash. This book order will be due next
week Friday, September 24th.

Our
enrichment schedule has changed. Please look over the revised schedule.
I was
happy to see so many of you at open house on Tuesday. I had quite a few
parents sign-up to help in our classroom. If you were unable to sign-up
at open house, but are available to help please let me know. I will be
working on the schedule next week.
Our
Halloween party will be after our last recess on Friday, October 29th.
I need volunteers to come in and help beginning at 1:30. I also need
volunteers to bring in plates, napkins, cups/drinks, and healthy finger
foods. If you are able to help with anything please let me know.
Next
week I will look ahead and begin planning for upcoming projects. I will
try to get a wish list of things I will need sent home on Friday.
Questions to ask your child this week are the following:
1)
Can you use the following
words in a sentence? A, all, the
2)
Can you count by 1’s to
110?
Have a good weekend everyone!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lyman |
