Dear Parents,
We had a short but fun and busy week in first grade. In Bible we learned about how sad God was when sin came into the world and ruined his perfect creation. Next week we will learn about how Noah's family was spared from the consequence of that sin. We learned about graphing in math as we continue to review our other skills. Be sure to review the paper that comes home in the DWF if your child is struggling with any skill. We learned about saving Earth's natural resources by reducing, recycling and reusing. We reused a water bottle to make some cute piggy banks. In Science Lab with Mr. Fleming the children recycled old paper and made new paper...that is cool. The most exciting subject this week was writing! We completed the writing process and published one piece from our Author's Notebooks. You will find your child's graded writing in a packet in the Friday Folder. Please take a moment to read it with them and tell them how proud you are that they are now a published author! Come by our classroom and see their published work on our September bulletin board.
Here are some updates and reminders:
*Next week we will begin studying Animals in reading and science. We will have an Animal Day celebration at the end of the unit. On Thursday, September 30th we will all come to school dressed as an animal and we will eat all kinds of food that people and animals eat! The costumes should just be simple things that you can put together at home. Please don't spend a lot of money. I will send notes home asking everyone to send in one food item. This will be a fun way to celebrate our learning!
*Just a friendly reminder that your child should be wearing uniform shorts/skirts each Monday through Thursday. On Friday they can wear either jeans or uniform bottoms (no other types of bottoms are permitted)
*The Auction items you signed up for can be sent in at any time.
*Our first field trip this year will be to the Science Center to study animals and physics (our next two reading/science topics). I am just waiting for confirmation. It will be either the 2nd or 3rd Wednesday in October. I will post it on the website the minute I find out. Hopefully by the middle of next week.
*Be sure to click on "Older Posts" to see all of our pictures from this week...cute!
Our next Star Student will be Emma!
The secret words are "piggy bank".
Have a Wonderful Weekend!
