Dear First Grade
Families,
Our
Daily 5 reading program continues to go well for all of us. I have
finished testing to determine reading levels. This week I worked on
getting different books into their book boxes for them. Next week I am
going to have to use the Daily 5 time to test individual students for
report cards.
Students
completed their second math test this week. Graded tests came home
today. A letter about Unit three came home today too. We practiced
patterning and we learned about even and odd numbers.
We
welcomed a new student into our classroom this week! Welcome to our
class, Estaban!
During shared reading time this week we
learned to read Pumpkin, Pumpkin by Jeanne Titherington. We
completed a story map and we made a book about how a pumpkin grows.
Questions to ask your child this week are the following:
-
Can you draw a pattern and label it?
-
Can you tell me an even number?
-
Can you tell me an uneven number?
-
Can you tell me a word ending with -ing?

We walked to the Public library
yesterday. If your child brought home new books they will be due on
Thursday, Nov. 17th. In addition to checking out books we
made a candy corn craft during our visit.
We are going to have a fun-filled
Halloween day! In the morning we will be walking to the Onekama Fire
Department to learn about fire safety. We will be leaving school by
8:30. Anyone is welcome to join us! At 12:00 we will have a pizza party
to celebrate our pumpkins winning first prize. After our pizza we will
play some Halloween games.
Picture
retake day has been scheduled for the morning of November 4th.
If you are not satisfied with your child’s pictures they can be taken
again on that day.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lyman
