Weekly Update

Hi Everyone!

WOW! We had so much fun today celebrating all things 120! We counted, crafted, and built with the number 120 today. We also celebrated Gianna’s and KJ’s birthdays too. Today was Gianna’s last day and we are getting 2 new students too. Our new class total will be 19 students.

Next week is February break and we will not be in school. School resumes on Feb. 28th.

I did not send homework home for the break. Please read your baggy books and record them on your reading logs. I will send home phonic words on Monday after the break.

I hope everyone has a fun!

Hi everyone!

This week was a great week and everyone is getting very excited for Valentine’s day on Monday. Everyone will pass out valentines at school and we will be opening and reading them before they come home. If you haven’t finished your box, we need them by Monday. I’ve attached a class list for anyone who needs another one. It is also available for download from my blog as well. If your child does not have a box, we will provide a bag at school. The boxes that have come in are amazing!

 

Academic Focus

Reading- WHO is telling the story

Writing- Opinion

Math- Balancing Equations

Phonics- Bossy R review week (ar, er, ir, ur, or)

Science- Animal Needs

 

Friday is a $1 pajama day! Send in your $1 and your child can wear pajamas!

Friday is also the 120th Day of School. We will celebrate all day with all things 120!

 

Mark your calendars! February Break is Feb. 21-25th. Schools will be closed.

Hi Everyone!

Brrr! The weather has turned cold again! We spent some rainy, cold days inside for recess this week. 😊 We got to go to the media center and have Makerspace time this week. We also met with Ms. Norris for our counselor lesson! This week we made a Time Capsule for 2-2-22 day! Your child has brought it home today. There is a little space inside if you want to add something. Keep this in a safe place. They can open it up in 10 years! They will be Seniors in high school when it is 3-3-33. How cool is that! The final collection for our Kennesaw Place is DUE by Wednesday, Feb. 9th. A huge thank you to everyone who has already participated. This week’s homework features again the Valentine box (everyone needs one) and our class list for Valentine distribution. We will not have a “party” on Valentine’s Day, but we will take time to pass out the valentine’s and read a few. I will post this on my blog, and that’s also where you can find the homework and phonic words of the week.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

Academic focus next week:

Reading- Who is telling the story? How do you know?

Math- Balancing equations

Writing- Opinion

Phonics- Unit 22 /or/

Social Studies- Continents and Oceans

 

Note: I hope that the blue map has come in handy. The only way to learn about the continents and oceans is to practice. I recommend putting the map on your front door or refrigerator, and each time they pass, you ask them to point to a specific continent or ocean. The standard for first grade is to identify AND locate them. If you want to sing our song, here is the YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/Lf–PQNDn7g
