First Grade 2015-2016
Note From the Teacher
This was a another fantastic and busy week in 1st grade! In Reading, we reviewed text features and key details. In Writing, we began working on How To writing. In Math, we took our Unit 4 Big Idea 3 Post Assessment and worked on adding tens and ones and adding a 1 digit number to a 2 digit number. In Science, we celebrated Christmas around the world. The students had a blast! Ask them what they learned about Christmas in Mexico, Holland, Italy, and Israel, and Sweden. Dr. Yonke, our director of curriculum, taught us about Italy and how to make different kinds of pasta. The students had a blast watching her demonstrate for us. You can see a picture at the bottom of our newsletter! Thank you, Dr. Yonke!
Also, please note that January 5th is our Rock the Roar Assembly at 8:45 A.M.
December 21st, we will be building Gingerbread houses! If you are able to donate items for our gingerbread houses, we are in need of:
- Peppermints
- Skittles
- White Icing
- Pretzel Sticks
- Lemon Drops
- Graham Crackers
- Gum Drops
- Sprinkles
- Shredded Coconut
- Gallon Ziploc Bags
- Hershey's Kisses
- Any other items that would make a great Gingerbread House!
