Pumpkin Book Reports

Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a great and restful Fall Break.  I apologize for not  updating the website recently.  I am hoping to get back onto a regular schedule  This week each student has an individual trade book that they will be reading.  The students will be completing a book report in class.  They will identify the characters, setting, beginning, middle, and end.  Students will also be writing about their favorite part.  They will present their poster on Thursday and Friday to the class.  I have connected both the newsletter and an information sheet about the pumpkin book reports.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 

This week I will also be getting students reading levels and hope to have them ready to share with you at parent teacher conferences.  Thanks for ALL you do!!!

Fall is in the Air

Hello families!  So glad you are reading this!  We have been working hard in 1st grade and are truly enjoying all we are learning.  This past week we talked about Johnny Appleseed, seasons, apples, and plants.  We worked on the short u sound and finding blends at the beginning and ends of words.  This next week we will be looking at the "th" and "sh" sounds.  We will also begin working on subtraction.  Please check out the newsletter for more information!  A Big Fish for Max Newsletter

A Grand Week Ahead!

Happy Birthday Johnny Appleseed!  On Monday, we will begin our week long celebration of seasons, apples, and weather.  We will be talking about how seasons and weather change throughout the year.  Friday, we will conclude our celebration with a taste testing party of various uses of apples.  Please look over the newsletter for items to send in.  Also on Friday we will wear pots on our head and pass out grass seed in honor of Johnny Appleseed.  Please send with your child a cooking pot to wear.

Also, this week we will be finishing up our study on animal habitats.  Students should pick an animal and design its habitat in a box (shoe box, cereal box, etc).  These should be brought to school no later than Thursday, Sept. 29th.  Students should also write one sentence to match their habitat.  More information is on the newsletter.  Animal Park Newsletter  

Again, thanks for keeping up with our class website.  I am truly enjoying your students and am seeing tremendous growth already!!!  Keep up the great work!

Newsletter for A Fox and a Kit and other bits of information

Hey everyone!  Sorry I am posting this late.  Here is the newsletter for this week.  A Fox and a Kit Newsletter

This week we have many exciting events going on.  We went to the library on Monday to visit the Book Fair.  If you did not send in money and would like for your child to purchase a book, you can still send it in and they will go in the morning. 

We also have Grandparent's Day tomorrow.  We ask that only grandparents that signed up attend.  Grandparents are welcome to take their grandchild to the book fair too.

Finally, this week we have been Think Link testing.  This is a baseline test in first grade taken on the computer.  Students took the math portion this morning and will take the reading portion tomorrow.  This will give us an indication of their growth from the beginning to the end of the year.
