First Grade Newsletter
Week of Sept. 9, 2019
This Week's Focus:
Reading: Fairy Tales
Writing: Creating a "4 star" sentence and writing about small moments that are meaningful to us
Science: Science Tools
S.Studies: Patriot's Day and Our Public Officials
Applied Spelling and Phonics Focus: /ug/ words Please note: We don't send home specific words to study...we are trying to get the students to focus on the "patterns" each week. We will choose ten words that follow the spelling pattern of the week for our Friday Tests.
Review Sight Words: what, all, were, we, when, your, can, said
Important Reminders:
Grandfriends Day will be this Friday morning from 7:30-8:15 in our classrooms. Any special 'Grandfriend" is cordially invited to join us in our classrooms for some fun!
Transportation changes will only be accepted until 2:30 p.m. We ask that all transportation change requests be made in writing and brought with your child to school or that you contact the School Office. Thanks to everyone who has helped us out with this already! You Rock!
After School Pickup: If you plan to walk up and pick up your child on the sidewalk after dismissal, please have a pink card or mirror tag with you. We are trying to keep our students as safe as possible, and can only release a student to a person with a pink card or mirror tag. We also ask that you wait until all of our first graders have reached the 'pick up spot" (beside the main post) before trying to remove your child from our line.
